It would be accurate to characterize Ange Postecoglou’s tenure as Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, which has lasted for one and a half seasons, as mixed.
In addition to making his team one of the most entertaining in all of European football, the Australian has also made them relatively easy to play against due to injuries.
Regarding transfers, he has signed Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner in addition to some outstanding players like Dominic Solanke, Micky van de Ven, and Archie Gray.
It’s good news that recent reports have hailed an ideal replacement for a move to the club this month, as the German winger has not been successful in North London.
Tottenham chase incredible talent
Tottenham is among the teams interested in Bayern Munich star Mathys Tel, according to a recent update from transfers expert Fabrizio Romano.
According to Romano, negotiations to sign the player on a loan for the remainder of the season have already begun with Manchester United and seven other unidentified teams in addition to the Lilywhites.
Nonetheless, the Italian reporter claims that the player wants guarantees regarding playing time, which Postecoglou might provide him with given Solanke’s injury.
Furthermore, if Spurs determine that selling the young player permanently is the best option, reports from earlier this week indicated that the German powerhouses would be open to accepting an offer of about £40 million.
Overall, even though Tel is attracting a lot of interest, the North Londoners should try their best to sign him to N17 because, even on loan, he would be Werner’s ideal replacement.
Comparing Tel to Werner
The 19-year-old would therefore be joining the team with the expectation of playing regular football if Spurs could persuade him to stay for the remainder of the season or longer.
He would therefore rise above Werner in the hierarchy, and judging from the two of them, we believe that to be completely accurate.
The German player’s form from this season is completely different from the Frenchman’s from last season, when he was actually playing.
According to reporter Florian Plettenberg, the “unbelievable” prospect recorded ten goals and six assists in 41 games, totaling 1406 minutes. This translates to an average of one goal involvement every 2.56 games, or every 87.87 minutes.
The former Chelsea star, on the other hand, averaged a goal involvement every 3.5 games, or every 161.87 minutes, with four goals and four assists in 28 appearances, totaling 1295 minutes.
Unfortunately for the Stuttgart native, when we examine their underlying numbers from the beginning of the previous season to the present, the comparison becomes even more biased.
In most forward-relevant metrics, such as actual non-penalty goals plus assists, shots and shots on target, goals per shot and shot on target, successful take-ons, shot and goal-creating actions, and more, the Sarcelles-born dynamo wins.
In the end, Tel is the much younger player and the far better player in every significant way.
