Bayern Munich's Tel rejected Tottenham Hotspur after the Lilywhites came to a transfer fee agreement of €60 million (£50m) with the Bavarians as the 19-year-old preferred a move elsewhere with Manchester United also interested. However, after the Red Devils decided to pull out of the race for the striker, Tel has now decided to join Ange Postecoglou's side in a loan deal until the end of the season as per Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg. The deal will not include a buy option for the Lilywhites.

Despite the deal having seemed to be history, Tottenham are now set to receive Tel albeit on loan for the rest of the season. The deal going through will have produced a sigh of relief from Spurs fans and boss Ange Postecoglou as the under-fire boss has been struggling with a lack of squad options amid a number of injuries at the club.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also revealed that Tel and his agent Gadiri Camara are flying to London from Munich at the moment to travel to Tottenham Hotspur's headquarters to sign the loan deal with the Lilywhite.
WHAT NEXT FOR TEL?
In terms of his future beyond this season, the situation still remains the same as the Bayern Munich star wants to succeed with the Bavarians. Regardless, Spurs will be looking to make the most of the loan deal and it is possible that the 19-year-old could make his Tottenham debut against Liverpool in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on Thursday, February 6.
