Mathys Tel's loan to Tottenham from Bayern Munich reflects a strategy for his development after limited minutes at Bayern. Despite showing potential, he struggled for consistent performances. At Spurs, where he has made five appearances and scored only once, injuries to teammates provided him opportunities for play. Manager Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the challenges of expecting rapid adaptation from the 19-year-old in the Premier League. The immediate focus for Tel's progress is improving his fitness, which suffered from a lack of playtime at Bayern.
With Mathys, he hadn't played a lot, we've thrown him in... if anyone is expecting him to come in and take the Premier League by storm, it's not realistic.
One of the first goals for Postecoglou was to get Tel's fitness levels up and then maintain them for the remainder of the season.
