Tel has been the subject of vast interest from Premier League clubs throughout the month. Arsenal's local rivals Tottenham Hotspur had a £50million bid accepted for his services before he turned them down - and although Manchester United and Chelsea have registered their interest in the young Frenchman, journalist Florian Plettenberg has stated that Arsenal 'remain' in talks.
Plettenberg: Arsenal 'In Direct Contact' for Mathys Tel
The Gunners need a prolific striker
Bayern Munich Mathys Tel
Speaking on Sky Sports News, Plettenberg stated that the deal was one to watch in the next few hours - though it would be a 'very tricky situation' to complete. He said:
"One to watch in the next hours definitely. It's a very, very tricky situation, to be honest. Yesterday, there have been concrete negotiations between Manchester United and Bayern about a loan deal, but Bayern are angry about Mathys Tel.
"At this stage, there is no agreement with any club. Yesterday, Manchester United submitted a loan offer with an option to buy, but Bayern - at this stage of the window - are willing to let him go for an obligation deal or a permanent deal.
"Arsenal remain in direct talks with Bayern at this stage, we can say - but for now, Mathys Tel remains a player of Bayern."
Tel has only started two games under Vincent Kompany in the Bundesliga this season, and evidently doesn't feature as part of the Belgian's plans - and with the Premier League's biggest clubs looking for a striker, he could come in to fix that.
