Mathys Tel has agreed SIX-YEAR Tottenham contract and WILL stay beyond Bayern Munich loan, reveals Ange Postecoglou
ANGE POSTECOGLOU declared Mathys Tel WILL be a Tottenham player beyond the end of the season.
The French striker, 19, completed a deadline-day loan move from Bayern Munich to Spurs, who hold a £45million option to sign him permanently.

German reports had suggested the player could still choose not to join the North Londoners in the summer, despite that option.
But SunSport understands Tel is happy to stay should Spurs trigger it and a six-year contract has already been agreed.
Asked if he could clear up the confusion and if Tel would remain at Tottenham beyond the current season, bullish Postecoglou replied: “He’ll be a Tottenham player.
“I think he’ll show everyone he’s going to be a Tottenham player in the next six months. I didn’t bring him here for six months.”
Tel has been cleared to make his Spurs debut at Liverpool tomorrow having trained and received his work permit.
The same goes for 26-year-old centre-back Kevin Danso, signed on loan from RC Lens on Sunday, who is likely to start the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.
Tel had initially rejected a switch to Spurs when a straight £50m deal was on the table.
But he had a change of heart on Monday, having had a persuasive exchange “purely about football” via phonecall and on text over a couple of hours with Postecoglou.

The Aussie joked: “I felt that if I kept him on the phone long enough, I would wear him down. He was falling asleep by the end!
“I got a sense pretty early on that there was a connection there and he was hearing what he wanted to hear. It is a big decision.

“He is a 19-year-old man at a fantastic football club. They would have been quite happy to keep him there I am sure but he also knew he needed to play.
“But not just play. Play where he is going to develop. I think it is a credit to him that rather than just jump at what came at him, he was very thorough in the way he made his decision.”
Tel had interest from other clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, but was convinced, in the end, by Spurs.
Postecoglou said he was “100 per cent” certain Tel is happy to be at Spurs and sees the move as a coup for Spurs, who are in all cup competitions but 14th in the Premier League.
The ex-Celtic boss added: “He is very, very exciting.
“When you meet him you realise he’s got that bit about him as a person who has enormous self-belief and confidence in what he can do and what he wants to do.
“Even though he’s young, physically he’s already in a place where he can take on the enormous challenges of being an attacking player in the Bundesliga and I think he can handle the Premier League.
“He’s a goal-scorer, he can take people on, he’s got speed.
“I’d be very surprised if there was a club that wouldn’t be interested in somebody like him.”

Kay Burley’s replacement as she announces shock retirement ‘revealed’ by bookies
KAY Burley’s Sky News replacement has seemingly been revealed after the bookies shared who has the best odds of taking over her role.
The TV presenter shocked viewers when she confirmed that she would be stepping back from the broadcaster after 36 years in the role.
![Kay Burley on her final Sky News Breakfast program.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/kay-burley-retired-sky-news-969363191.jpg?strip=all&w=960)

Kay admitted it was an “honour and a privilege” to work for the broadcaster for so long as she revealed her decision live on air this morning.
Now, the oddsmaker at BetIdeas has revealed that a fellow Sky star is likely to take over from Kay.
Sky News star Sarah-Jane Mee is currently sitting at 3/1 to take over the role.
Fans will know Sarah-Jane best for her live broadcasting on Sky during the weekdays as well as fronting coverage of Sky’s Premier League show Saturday Night Football on Saturday evenings.
Sarah-Jane also anchored the morning show Sunrise between 2016 and 2019.
Her odds put her ahead of second contender, fellow Sky star Sophy Ridge who’s odds are currently lined up at 5/1.
Sophy has been with the network since 2001.
Kay left the world of journalism stunned today when she revealed her retirement from Sky after 36 continuous years.
The broadcaster, 64, closed the final show of her Sky News Breakfast programme this morning.
She said: “From a standing start to one of the most recognised and valued brands in global news, it’s been an honour and privilege to work with some of the best and hardest working teams in the business.
“News by its very nature is often devastating and together we’ve covered so many life-changing events – from the tragic death of Diana, the shocking terror attack of 9/11; the Asian Tsunami; the Concorde air disaster.
“But we’ve also enjoyed some wonderful high notes too, haven’t we – the thrill of London winning the chance to host the 2012 Olympics; a plethora of royal weddings; jubilees and who can forget days and days and DAYS waiting for royal babies to arrive at the Lindo Wing.
“But after over a million minutes of live TV news – more than anyone else in the world – its time for me to indulge in some of my other passions – including my love for travel.
“So, after covering 12 separate general elections – including Sir Keir Starmer’s victory last year – I am retiring from Sky News – let politicians of every party just rejoice at that news!

“Thank you for waking up and tuning in every morning. I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated your support over the last three and a half decades: You’re awesome.
“I will post more on my social media and hope to see you around. Please keep in touch.”
Burley has hosted the 24-hour rolling news channel’s breakfast programme for the last five years, moving from her afternoon slot in 2019.
She first joined Sky when it launched in 1988 and claims to have hosted more live television than any other broadcaster.

On the same floor are the house’s two bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The master bedroom has a tiled floor and space for a king-sized bed, and is complete with a glass door on one side.

Cheeky Newcastle fans taunt Mikel Arteta with five-word chant as Arsenal are ripped apart in Carabao Cup semi-final
NEWCASTLE fans brutally mocked Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta during Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final at St James’ Park.
The Magpies cruised to a 2-0 victory in the second-leg, taking the score up to 4-0 on aggregate.
![Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, at a soccer match.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/120-images-no-video-emulation-969472164.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
Arsenal had 34 shots across both games and failed to convert any of them.
After the first leg, Arteta appeared to blame the Carabao Cup BALL for the amount of missed chances.
He said: “We also kicked a lot of balls over the bar, and it’s tricky that these balls fly a lot so there’s details that we can do better.
“But at the end that’s gone, there’s no way back it’s about the next game and that’s our world, the reality is our world.
“It’s just different. Very different to a Premier League ball, and you have to adapt to that because it flies different.
“When you touch it the grip is very different as well so you adapt to that.”
With the Gunners once again struggling to convert anything at St James’ Park, Newcastle fans took the opportunity to mock Arteta for his comments.
During the second half, they started to chant: “It must be the ball, it must be the ball, Mikel Arteta, it must be the ball.”
