The Story in 60 Seconds

GiveMeSport's James Beavis argues Tottenham Hotspur should put forward Mathys Tel up for sale despite manager Roberto De Zerbi expressing affection for the player. Tottenham sits bottom of the Premier League with just two points and two goals, having spent over £300m in the summer transfer window. Tel was omitted from the matchday squad against Aston Villa for technical reasons after starting three of Spurs' first four league fixtures.

Beavis highlights that the 21-year-old Frenchman has managed just seven goals across 64 appearances since his initial loan and subsequent £30m permanent move from Bayern Munich. While De Zerbi has publicly praised Tel's character and demanded sharper striker movement, the writer contends Tel faces an even steeper battle for playing time once Tottenham's injured attackers return to full fitness.
