Mathys Tel will join Tottenham Hotspur permanently after his loan from Bayern Munich ends this season, manager Ange Postecoglou said ahead of the second leg of their League Cup semi-final at Liverpool on Thursday.

Former Spurs striker Harry Kane, who has been a team-mate of Tel's at Bayern over the last 18 months, believes the talented youngster can flourish during his time in north London. "It's a great move for both parties. Mathys is a great guy and really hardworking," Kane told Spurs' official club website.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou feels new signing Mathys Tel will have the opportunity to play in a system that suits him well and is a perfect addition to the Spurs squad. The Lilywhites agreed a loan deal with buy option to sign Tel from Bayern Munich on deadline day of the winter transfer window.

Ange Postecoglou said Mathys Tel is "100 percent" committed to Tottenham after the French forward signed on loan despite reportedly rejecting a move to the club earlier in the January transfer window.

Ange Postecoglou has tended to play down the significance of the domestic cups at Tottenham, previously insisting that they were not a quick fix for the club's problems, but the head coach made no attempt to dismiss the potential impact of beating Liverpool on Thursday.

The Tottenham manager doesn't have many options heading to Anfield on Thursday given his side has 10 injury concerns at present - but he did bolster his numbers with two late additions in the transfer market.

Ange Postecoglou has not enjoyed the same success at Tottenham Hotspur that he did at Celtic. That will not come as a surprise to anybody though if you know the history of the two clubs. Right now, there are real fears that Postecoglou could be sacked by Tottenham Hotspur if things do not improve quickly.
