What will happen to Matisse Tel (Tottenham), once called the 'Son Heung-min successor'.

The BBC reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'AS Rome is seeking to recruit Tel instead of Joshua Zirkjay (Manchester United).'

Citing a report by Ekrem Konur, a reporter familiar with the transfer market, the media outlet said 'AS Rome's top target is still Zirkje. However, Zirkjay's recent start has worried AS Roma. AS Roma are aiming for Tel instead of Zirkjay'




Born in 2005, Tel left Bayern Munich (Germany) for Tottenham on loan through the winter transfer window in 2025. Tottenham paid €10m for Tel's loan. I had high expectations. He made his debut in the first team at the age of 16, the youngest member of the club at Stadren. He joined Bayern in July 2022 and broke the club's record for the youngest score in a month. However, there were not many opportunities after Harry Kane joined Bayern through the summer 2023 transfer window. In his three seasons with Bayern Munich, he appeared in 83 games, scoring 16 goals and 8 assists. He scored 12 goals and 6 assists in 60 matches in the German Bundesliga, 2 goals and 1 assists in 16 matches in the European Champions League (UCL), and 2 goals and 1 assists in 6 matches in the DFB Pokal. Tel is taking on a new challenge through a move to Tottenham. However, in the 2024-2025 season, he only left two goals and one assist in 13 English Premier League (EPL) games.

It was a twist. Tottenham completely acquired Tell ahead of this season. It was the first contract in the transfer market this summer. Tel's contract period is 6 years, until June 2031. It is known that the company paid 35 million euros as a basic condition for full recruitment and 10 million euros as an option.

Tel has scored two goals in 10 EPL games this season. Not much has changed from last season. Moreover, he was excluded from the UCL list this season. Tottenham is also showing a frustrating attack on Tel's sluggish performance, which was once called 'Son Heung-min successor'. Tottenham ranks 11th out of 20 teams with 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses (19 points) in 14 league games this season.
