Tottenham have opened talks over a £50million deal for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel.

The 19-year-old has a number of offers to consider with Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Arsenal among seven clubs to have made enquiries for the France international.

Spurs' technical director Johan Lange was understood to have travelled to Munich on Wednesday to watch Tel play for Bayern in their Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava and open negotiations.

Their talks are further advanced but Chelsea, Villa and Manchester United are in dialogue with Bayern and Tel's agents also.
