Mathys Tel reveals whether Thomas Frank has told him his main Tottenham position
Tottenham forward Mathys Tel has addressed questions about the season ahead, hinting at his mindset and role under Thomas Frank.
Tottenham Hotspur are very well stacked high up the pitch heading into the new season, with competition for places expected to be high.
Several wingers and forwards at Tottenham can play a host of positions, and that could help them secure a place in the starting eleven, especially when injuries hit.
Mathys Tel is one such player who is versatile enough to play across the front line, and we have already seen him deployed as a centre-forward and a left-winger during his six-month spell at Tottenham.
Mathys Tel keeps focus on team role amid Tottenham uncertainty
The French youngster was quizzed about his best position and whether any discussions had taken place with Thomas Frank regarding how he will be used this season, but he remained non-committal, insisting his mindset is on the collective rather than any personal agenda.
“I do not talk about position. Just the main thing is collective, every player is important. We will see what happens. I just need to be ready and prepare myself to play,” he told football.london.
Tel also reflected on the intensity of pre-season and the demands of a campaign that will see Tottenham return to Champions League action.
“This pre-season is about intensity, mentality and physicality too. This season we belong. We have a lot of big games, Champions League, Premier League and the cups. We need to be ready in the head and physically.”
Tel could be Heung-min Son’s long-term successor
Tel reported later than some of his peers for pre-season under new boss Thomas Frank because of his involvement in the Under-21 European Championship.
The young French forward saw his side reach the semi-final, and he played a role in their progress, grabbing two goals along the way.
Mathys Tel has long been dubbed as the club’s Heung-min Son successor, and should the Tottenham captain depart amid links with a move to LA FC, Tel could very well make that left-wing spot his own if he proves his quality.
