One of the most peculiar transfer stories to track this January window has been the fate of Bayern Munich player Mathys Tel. A report on Monday, hours before the window closed, claimed that Tel and his agent were arriving in London to negotiate a last-minute loan deal with Tottenham.

Manchester United passed up the chance to sign Mathys Tel ahead of Tottenham as they considered the deal too expensive, according to reports. Tel initially rejected a move to Tottenham last Friday after Spurs agreed a €60 million (£50.2m) deal with Bayern Munich.
