Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all interested in a deal to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich in the January transfer window. Tel dropped a transfer bombshell on Tuesday – deciding that he wishes to leave Bayern this month – which has seen Arsenal and United join Chelsea in a dramatic late race to land his signature.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed Mathys Tel wants to leave the club. Standard Sport understands Chelsea have previously made an inquiry to sign the Frenchman earlier in the window, while Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United have also been linked.

Arsenal are reportedly leading Chelsea in the race to sign Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel before the January transfer window slams shut.
