Jamie Redknapp reveals behind the scenes Harry Kane message as Tottenham push for Mathys Tel transfer | OneFootball

Spurs in advanced talks with Bayern Munich over potential £50m swoop

Former Tottenham captain Jamie Redknapp has revealed a message from Harry Kane about Spurs target Mathys Tel.

Tel appeared to wave goodbye to Bayern supporters after their win over Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on Wednesday night, with the Bundesliga giants later confirming Tel wants to leave Munich.

Tottenham’s record goalscorer Kane has played with Tel since leaving Spurs in the summer of 2023 and Redknapp got in touch with the England captain when the transfer news emerged.

Redknapp told Sky Sports: “I messaged Harry Kane earlier on just asking what he's like as I knew I was coming to speak to you guys and he was very complimentary about him. First of all, he says he's a great guy. He wants to work, good trainer, good finisher, lot of potential.

"It's a lot of money, £50 million, for a 19-year-old in the current climate. I can't think of too many that age that have gone for much more.

"He has a lot of talent and can play off the left as well - and they have got a lot of big games coming up.

"Coming to Tottenham, would he start? There's still Son, there's still [Dejan] Kulusevski, there's still Solanke when he's fit, so there's probably not a guarantee he's going to come in as a regular starter, but trying to get ahead of Kane at Bayern is not easy."
