Former Spurs striker Harry Kane, who has been a team-mate of Tel's at Bayern over the last 18 months, believes the talented youngster can flourish during his time in north London. "It's a great move for both parties. Mathys is a great guy and really hardworking," Kane told Spurs' official club website.

Ange Postecoglou says deadline-day signing Mathys Tel "will be a Tottenham player" next season, insisting: "I didn't bring him here for six months." Tel joined Spurs from Bayern Munich on loan until the end of the campaign, with an option for the club to make the deal permanent for £45.7million in the summer.
