EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s resident scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen explores Chelsea’s curiosity in Bayern’s 19-year-old prodigy Mathys Tel.
Chelsea’s seek for a centre-forward has grow to be the norm within the latest switch home windows. Tel is simply the newest identify and as a lot as swap offers are exceedingly advanced, on the floor it does look a win-win scenario for each golf equipment.
Whereas Tel’s expertise is undisputed — his report at youth stage for France is outstanding and he turned Bayern’s youngest ever objective scorer (17 years and 126 days) when he hit the web in a cup recreation just some weeks after his €20m swap from Rennes in the summertime of 2022 — he has struggled to make a constant mark for the German giants. One cause for that’s clearly the presence of Harry Kane as a No. 9, one other being the perpetual dilemma over his future place: will he ever mould into an out-and-out centre-forward? Or does is he intrinsically a winger (as his heatmap suggests)? At solely 19, such concerns are a part of a participant’s pure improvement however it’s problematic when a scarcity of enjoying time is thrown into the equation.
Whether or not he’d see extra minutes in an plentiful Chelsea frontline is one other query, but when coach Enzo Maresca feels he can depend on Tel and the participant responds, the transfer may very well be a stroke of genius. The Frenchman has the whole lot within the locker to grow to be one of many prime forwards in European soccer. He is splendidly athletic — robust and quick with the acceleration to stretch defences. He additionally has wonderful management and excels in attacking 1v1s by way of bursts or dribbling.
There is a cause why his youth performances drew comparisons to Kylian Mbappe, however these spectacular abilities have solely been witnessed in flashes at senior stage. A change of setting to construct confidence can show wonders although. If (and it is a huge “if”) Maresca can reinvigorate {the teenager}, they may nicely have a €100m participant on their palms.
