Chelsea have continued their push to snap up the best young talents in world football by making an enquiry for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel. Tel has been a long-term target for the Blues, with the year-old having been viewed as one of the best young forwards in the game. The France youth international has been viewed as a star from a young age having broken through at Rennes. He was handed his first-term debut by the Ligue 1 outfit at the age of 16 years and days, becoming the club's youngest player to feature in an official match.
Tel notably beat the previous record held by Eduardo Camavinga, who set the milestone on his path to joining Real Madrid. The forward's time at Rennes was short, making just seven brief substitute appearances in the French top flight before moving to Bayern Munich in the summer of Tel became Rennes youngest ever player when he debuted as a year-old in August We are proud of that, as there were a lot of clubs who wanted to sign him.
We are all convinced he has a great career in front of him and that he will help our team. Tel took on the role as a super sub during his debut season in the Bundesliga, with 21 on his 22 appearances coming from the bench during the campaign. He netted five times and largely operated as a centre forward during his minutes, but was also utilsed on both flanks.
Tel became Bayern's youngest-ever scorer, having hit the back of the net two months into his Bayern career in a DFB Cup match against Viktoria Cologne. Tel, now 19, has largely been used as an impact substitute in his Bayern Munich career. Tel right is viewed as one of the hottest prospects in Europe and is a long-term Blues target.
He has remained an impact playing as part of Thomas Tuchel's side last season, making just 10 starts in his 41 appearances in all competitions, netting 10 times.
