Ange Postecoglou Praises Mathys Tel's Early Impact at Tottenham

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has praised Mathys Tel's early impact at the club, highlighting the young winger's work rate and attitude.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed his satisfaction with the early signs shown by Mathys Tel, the 19-year-old French striker who joined the club on loan from Bayern Munich last month. Postecoglou is delighted with Tel's seamless integration into the team and his eagerness to learn and adapt. “Yeah, really positive,” Postecoglou said, assessing Tel's impact. “I was happy to get him in and again for a young man who hasn't played a lot recently, obviously that was one of the reasons he was looking to kind of move to get more opportunities.”

Postecoglou has been impressed by Tel's work ethic and willingness to learn, which has been evident in his performances so far. “I think I've kind of kept him out there for 90 minutes for both games just to build him up physically as much as anything else,” Postecoglou explained. “He's a willing worker, which is brilliant. We've seen in both games, he really works as hard as he can for the team, which is massive for us and the more he plays, the more he'll get into the rhythm of how we play.”

As Tel continues to settle into his new surroundings, Postecoglou is confident that the young striker will only improve with more game time. “Even for himself as a striker, I think he needs the games to get up to speed, but, yeah, he's done really well for us,” Postecoglou said. “Hugely important. Yeah, hopefully with Dom not too far away, Richy not too far away, we'll have some real good options in that front third.” With Tel's promising start and the impending returns of other key players, Postecoglou is optimistic about Tottenham's attacking prospects.
