Daniel Levy has reportedly touched down in Munich to try and hash out a deal to sign wantaway Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel.
Spurs face stiff competition from Premier League rivals for the £50million Frenchman, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Arsenal among seven clubs to have made enquiries for the 19-year-old.
But according to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have reached an agreement with Bayern over the player, leaving talks between Tel and his agent as the final hurdle to get a deal over the line.
Romano claims that Tottenham chairman Levy is in Bavaria to ‘accelerate talks’ for the France international, keen to push forward as other Premier League outfits breathe down their neck.
This comes after 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, where he opened negotiations.
Tel has a number of offers on the table and it will be playing time that is key to his decision, with his decision to call it quits at Bayern coming after falling out of favour under Vincent Kompany.

This is something that Tottenham can provide as their squad continues to be blighted by injuries. Dominic Solanke is out for six weeks, while Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner are also currently sidelined.
However, Spurs will feel they need to act quick if they are going to lure Tel to North London, with Chelsea, Aston Villa and Manchester United also in dialogue with the player.
Outgoings could be decisive on whether United ramp up their pursuit of Tel as they anticipate further offers for Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
Spurs will therefore be keen to get a transfer over the line before others have a chance to act.
Tel has been a Bayern player since August 2022 when he arrived from Rennes for £25m.
He has scored 16 goals in his first 83 appearances for the Bundesliga giants but has spent a lot of time on the bench.
Tottenham briefly spoke about signing Tel back in the summer of 2023 when they sold Harry Kane to Bayern.
