'He didn’t do enough'- ‘Struggling’ Tottenham star called out amidst difficult start to life under Thomas Frank

The 20-year-old’s hard work in training has left Thomas Frank impressed, with the Danish tactician opting to give him a chance to lead the line for Spurs in recent weeks. His first Premier League start came against Leeds United this season, and it is fair to say he grabbed that opportunity with both hands. He was one of the standout performers at Elland Road, capping off his impressive display with a goal to help the Lilywhites secure all three points. Thomas Frank needs to reconsider Mathys Tel’s position at Tottenham One of the major issues for Mathys Tel at Tottenham has been his inability to build on positive performances. This was evident when he failed to replicate his display against Leeds in the following week’s fixture against Aston Villa. This inconsistency might be addressed if Tel is allowed to play in his natural position on the left-flank instead of deployed up front in consecutive matches. Echoing these thoughts, John Wenham has also urged Frank to reconsider shifting the Frenchman to the left-flank. Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham said, “I certainly don’t see him as an out-and-out striker. So, I think off the left will become his best position. But at the minute, he’s seemingly battling for the opportunity to impress with Odobert for those minutes in the team. But unfortunately, for me, against Aston Villa, he didn’t do enough to say that he should be the one starting.”
