Arsenal, Man United pursue Mathys Tel transfer from Bayern

Mathys Tel's future is uncertain as the January transfer window approaches its deadline, with both Manchester United and Arsenal vying for the 19-year-old Bayern Munich forward. Despite Bayern agreeing to a £50 million deal with Tottenham, Tel declined the move, seeking more first-team opportunities after limited playing time this season. Sources indicate that both Premier League clubs have made contact with Tel's representatives, with United reportedly taking the lead in discussions. Tel's preference for a loan move has complicated negotiations, as Bayern wants to retain an option on the young talent. Arsenal is particularly interested due to injuries to key players, while United sees Tel as a solution to their attacking struggles. If no agreement is reached, Tel may opt to stay in Munich for the remainder of the campaign.
