Harry Kane has warned ‘great young player’ Mathys Tel he must choose his next club carefully amid interest from Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal.
The Bayern Munich forward has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs during the January transfer window.
Tel looked set to join Tottenham after the north London club agreed a £50m deal with Bayern, but the 19-year-old has reportedly rejected Spurs’ advances.

The France U21 star, who cost Bayern Munich over £20m in the summer of 2022, featured heavily for the German giants over his first two seasons in the Bundesliga.
However, Tel has opened featured in eight league games so far this season and is keen to leave and secure a more pivotal role at another club.
Despite Tel’s lack of minutes, Kane insists his Bayern Munich teammate has ‘a lot of potential’ and can improve greatly over the next few years.
In terms of leaving Bayern, Kane says it is imperative that Tel gets playing time’ at his next club.
‘Mathys is a great young player,’ the England captain told reporters after Bayern Munich’s thrilling 4-3 win over Holstein Kiel on Saturday.
‘I have worked with him for 18 months now. He has a lot of potential, works and likes to train hard. He can still improve, but he has the right mindset to do so.
‘Whatever his next step is, the most important thing is that he plays. My advice is that wherever he goes now, he should make sure he gets playing time and experience.’
