Roma Eyes Spurs' Struggling Forward Mathys Tel
22 Jan
Summary
- Roma sporting director Massara is pushing hard for Tottenham's Mathys Tel.
- Tel, a France U21 international, has struggled to secure a starting spot.
- Despite limited impact, Tel remains a target for several European clubs.
Roma's sporting director, Frederic Massara, is intensifying efforts to sign Tottenham Hotspur forward Mathys Tel before the transfer window closes. Tel, who joined Spurs permanently in the summer after an initial loan, has faced significant challenges adapting to the Premier League's physicality and securing a regular starting position.
Despite his struggles and limited impact, the 20-year-old France U21 international is still attracting interest from various European clubs, including Paris FC. However, Tottenham is reluctant to let Tel depart, as it would further strain their already stretched attacking options, especially after sanctioning Brennan Johnson's move to Crystal Palace.
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini is keen to enhance Roma's firepower, and the club is reportedly pushing to fulfill his request. Tel recently scored in a Premier League match against Bournemouth but was subsequently removed from Tottenham's Champions League squad. A move to fourth-placed Roma, who are still in the Serie A title race, could be an appealing prospect for the player seeking more game time.
