Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou has come out to deny claims that Mathys Tel rejected an initial offer to join the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Tel did not reject Spurs before agreeing his loan move on deadline day, and he only needed time to be comfortable with his final decision.
Ange added that he expects the youngster to be 100 per cent committed to the club because he has the right mentality.
His words, “I think people need to understand that you are talking about a 19-year-old who has to make a major decision for his career and it’s not that he rejected us or rejected anyone else. I think he just wanted to be comfortable with his decision. I don’t think he wanted to be pushed in a certain direction and it’s credit to him. I had a conversation with him and it was purely around the football and I think he’ll find a really good place for him here.
Yes, Tel is committed 100 per cent. I am more than 100% sure because he took so much time, was so diligent about finding out everything. He had other options so it gave me more confidence that we are getting the right kind of mentality, the right kind of player. He is very ambitious. He has a great self-belief and confidence. He feels he can reach the top of the game and he has chosen us which is great vindication of what we are doing.”
WOW.
