Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined Chelsea and Manchester United in pursuit of wantaway Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel.

Chelsea have been chasing Tel for weeks but were initially met with a reluctance from the 19-year-old to leave Bayern, although that stance changed late in the window after a spell of matches as an unused substitute convinced him to look for an exit.

Tel's availability has piqued United's interest as they prepare for the departures of either Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho, while BILD name Tottenham as rival suitors.

The Telegraph go into more depth on Spurs' interest and note Ange Postecoglou's side are ready to launch a permanent bid for Tel as they desperately search for attacking reinforcements. The manager has pleaded publicly for new signings and, after landing down in 15th in the Premier League table, is expected to see his wish granted before the end of the window.

Key to Tel's decision is the access to regular minutes and BILD state the teenage forward is reluctant to make the move to Chelsea due to the competition for a place in Enzo Maresca's squad that already exists.

Bayern Munich director Max Eberl confirmed Tel's desire to leave the club after Bayern's 3-1 win over Slovan Bratislava, for which Tel was named as a surprise starter.

"Now Mathys comes along and says he can imagine doing something," said Eberl. "And now we have to think about what we are going to do, whether we are going to do it."

Tel was asked directly whether Wednesday's game was his last for Bayern, but he simply told Sky Sports Germany: "I don't know."
