Crystal Palace Eye Loan Move for Star Compared to Thierry Henry
Crystal Palace are interested in signing Bayern Munich youngster Mathys Tel on loan, with the German giants expected to make the forward available for a temporary transfer in January, according to CaughtOffside.
Tel enjoyed a fruitful 2023/24 season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists in just six Bundesliga starts. However, the 19-year-old is struggling for minutes this campaign, starting just once in the league thus far, and as a result, Bayern are said to be willing to let him leave on loan in the winter transfer window.
Among many other Premier League suitors, Palace have been alerted about the Frenchman’s potential availability, and are considering making a move. The Eagles currently sit just two points above the relegation zone, are struggling to score goals, and thus an injection of attacking firepower in the form of Tel, mid-way through the season, would be much welcome for Oliver Glasner’s side.
Spending time at several French clubs throughout his youth, Tel was snapped up by Bayern in 2022, and has settled well in Southern Germany. Netting five goals in just 417 minutes in his debut campaign at the Allianz Arena, the France under-21 international followed that potent season up by reaching double figures last campaign, sparking comparisons to Thierry Henry.
