Mathys Tel (born 27 April 2005, age 21) is a French striker with Tottenham Hotspur, where he wears number 11. His market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season so far came at Bayern Munich in 2023-24, when he scored seven goals in 30 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his senior development: regular involvement at a high level, with enough end product to keep the interest around him alive without needing the volume turned up.
At Tottenham in 2026-27, Tel has made four Premier League appearances, as well as one in the FA Cup and two in the League Cup. Across all competitions for Spurs, he has 11 appearances and six goals, while he has also been involved at under-21 level for France in European qualifying.
Tel is still a young forward, but already has experience at Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur and with France’s under-21 side. His career to this point is one of early exposure, steady senior minutes and a developing role rather than a finished story.
