Why did Tottenham recruit Matistel for a large amount of money. Tel is not expected to be able to play in the European Champions League (UCL).
Tottenham confirmed the list of players participating in the UCL in the 2025-2026 season on the 3rd (Korea time). Tottenham won the Europa League last season and succeeded in advancing to the UCL. The recent league stage draw confirmed the schedule to meet Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Villarreal, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bodu-Glimt, Slavia Prague, AS Monaco and FC Copenhagen.
The UCL roster has a maximum of 25 players, but Tottenham has 22 players to choose from. What is surprising is the absence of Tel. No. 11 Tel's name was not on the Tottenham squad list submitted to the UEFA. Along with Xavi Simmons, newly recruited from the offensive team, Hishalisson, Dominic Solanke, Mohamed Kudus and Wilson O'Dober were named. Even Randal Colomouni, who was hired on loan at the end of the transfer window, was included, but Tel could not be found.

Brandon Austin alone could not guarantee Tel's position from Tottenham's point of view, which has to fill the homegrown (the club's own quota of players). Nevertheless, considering that he joined the injured Solanke and Colomuagaini, who couldn't even adapt, Tel's reduced position can be guessed.
Born in 2005, striker Tel was once Bayern Munich's proud prospect. However, from the 2023-2024 season, Harry Kane and Michael Olise were rarely active due to their joining and inferiority in the main competition, and they headed to Tottenham through the previous winter transfer market and sought an opportunity. Tell's performance at Tottenham was disappointing. Contrary to the evaluation that he is a successor to Son Heung-min's position, he played in 20 games in a half-season and scored only three goals and one assist. In the league, there were only two goals in 13 games. There were not many fans who expected Tel to be fully recruited by Tottenham because the influence in the game was also below expectations.
Tottenham had a tell-all against expectations. The transfer fee is around 50 million euros (about 80 billion won), including the previous rent. It was too high to be simply a rotation player. Tottenham earned 26.5 million pounds (about 49 billion won) from winning the Europa League, and in fact invested more than the prize money in recruiting Tel.

However, investment performance converges to the present point '0'. After the opening, Tel played only three minutes against Burnley in the first round and 14 minutes against Bournemouth in the third round. Director Thomas Frank seems to have excluded Tell from the plan. He is using Hishalisson and Brennan Johnson for left winger and striker positions, which Tel will play in. Telos can expect other opportunities to play, including the League Cup, even if they cannot play in the league. However, even the stage called UCL disappeared.
Tottenham's incomprehensible recruitment has also been pushed out of Frank's plans, losing its meaning. Will Tel be able to come back to life. Right now, the only way is to concentrate on preparing for the opportunity to come.
