Tottenham look set to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day with the structure of the deal still to be finalised, football.london understands.

The 19-year-old looked to have initially rejected the north London club amid interest from Manchester United and other clubs. However, with talks with United collapsing. Tottenham had continued to monitor the situation and made their move once again after initially agreeing a £50million deal with Bayern last week.

It now remains to be seen whether Tel will make only a straight loan move without the option to buy him permanently or whether Spurs can strike a late deal to include an option. football.london understands that the final structure of the deal is not yet finalised, although reports in Germany are suggesting that Bayern are currently expecting it to be a straight loan.

Tottenham would prefer a more permanent arrangement but either way, Ange Postecoglou looks set to get the extra attacker this season that he has been calling for all window to bolster his numbers. The Spurs boss is believed to have played an integral part in laying out his plans for Tel which helped convince the young Frenchman of the move.

Spurs had also made an approach to try to sign England centre-back Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace on Sunday evening only to be rebuffed by their London rivals. Tottenham have long admired the defender but a summer move appears more likely for Guehi, who will have a long queue of suitors as he approaches the final year of his contract.

Spurs completed a £20.9m deal for centre-back Kevin Danso from Lens at the weekend with the 26-year-old Austria international set to be available to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on Thursday evening.
