Mathys Tel has told Bayern Munich he wishes to leave the Allianz Arena before next week's deadline and Chelsea are one of the several clubs with a strong interest in the teenage sensation

The French youngster is attracting major Premier League interest from Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa. Eberl, quoted by the London Evening Standard, said: "We spoke in December and Mathys said he wanted to assert himself. "Now he has said he would like to leave.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all interested in a deal to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich in the January transfer window. Tel dropped a transfer bombshell on Tuesday – deciding that he wishes to leave Bayern this month – which has seen Arsenal and United join Chelsea in a dramatic late race to land his signature.

Mathys Tel has all the attributes to be a top player one day, but he may be on his way out of Bayern Munich before transfer deadline day. As the biggest club in Germany, it stands to reason that Bayern Munich will often snap up the best young players in the game, and Mathys Tel is certainly in that bracket.

With a spot in the knockouts already secure, Bayern Munich have a chance to sneak into the top eight of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday when the league phase comes to a close. Bayern enter Matchday 8 in 15th place but are just one point shy of a spot in the top eight and so direct passageway to the round of 16 is a real possibility for Vincent Kompany's side.

Harry Kane scored as Bayern Munich won 2-1 at Freiburg on Saturday to move six points clear of Bayer Leverkusen, who threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at RB Leipzig.

Tel, who arrived in Germany one year before Kane, was still only 17 at the time of his transfer. That explains why both Thomas Tuchel and Julien Nagelsmenn were eager to shield him and protect him.
