Mathys Tel will likely seal the January transfer window exactly as he opened it: as a Bayern Munich player, despite or perhaps due to all the transfer speculations. The highly-rated youngster has explored several avenues but ultimately finds himself back at square one.
From early discussions with Chelsea over a possible mid-season move to later deciding to stay, Tel's future has been a subject of endless debate. Arsenal is one of the clubs that have engaged in negotiations for his services but might not secure his signature after all.
With Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus out injured, Mikel Arteta was keen to add to his attacking ranks and Arsenal have actively been pursuing signings. Tel is a versatile 19-year-old attacker who can operate both from the left flank and through the middle, with the Gunners earmarking him as a possible target.

Deadline Day Developments: Tel's Future at Bayern
Having been among the most monitored players on transfer deadline day, an exit from Bayern Munich had looked possible for Tel. As the clock ran down, however, all indications were that he would remain in Germany.
Bayern Munich's Transfer Stance
Eager for more senior playing time, Tel has stated a desire to do what is best for his career. In a stunning twist of events, Bayern and Tottenham did finally agree on a permanent deal for a rumored £51 million. Still, Spurs' project was not good enough to convince Tel to join.
The case is slightly different for Arsenal and Manchester United. There were reports that both clubs were interested in the player, but Bayern Munich-which had already agreed on a fee and structure for a permanent sale-aren't willing to entertain loan offers without a mandatory purchase option.
Neither Arsenal nor Manchester United is in a position to meet Bayern's demands, and after first showing patience, then trying to force through a transfer before an agreed-upon move broke down, all signs now are that Tel will be staying with the Bundesliga giants—at the very least, for the foreseeable future.
What's Next for Tel?
Despite wanting more first-team minutes, Tel will most likely continue his development under Thomas Tuchel's system in Bavaria. But with the summer transfer window still looming ahead, his future could still be up for discussion in the coming months.
