Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a €60 million (£50.2m) deal with Bayern Munich to sign Mathys Tel, according to reports in France.
Tel has put several Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Manchester United on alert by informing Bayern that he wants to leave before the end of the January transfer window.
Spurs, who have signed Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky for £12.5m earlier this month, have moved quickly to sign Tel as the club’s sporting director, Johan Lange, travelled to Germany to hold direct talks with Bayern on Wednesday.
According to L’Equipe, Spurs have now agreed a fee for Tel worth €60 million (£50.2m).However, the report adds that Tel is yet to make a final decision over his next club.

Chelsea made an approach to sign Tel earlier this month but it’s understood that the 19-year-old is reluctant to move to Stamford Bridge due to the strong competition for a place in Enzo Maresca’s attack.
Manchester United have also expressed an interest but would need to offload Alejandro Garnacho first before making a move for Tel.
Arsenal were also linked with Tel this week but Mikel Arteta’s side appear to be prioritising a move for Ollie Watkins after their £60m bid was rejected by Aston Villa this week.
Tel, who was signed in a €28.5 million (£24.4m) deal from Rennes in July 2022, has started just three games for Bayern this season.
