Leicester City have already begun making plans for the 2025 January transfer window.

Leicester City brought nine players to the King Power Stadium in the most recent transfer window.

Most of those players have shone since arriving in the Midlands, with Facundo Buonanotte’s staggering transfer value now revealed after he has shone in the early stages of 2024/25.

Elsewhere, despite initial skepticism around his move from Crystal Palace, Jordan Ayew has been ‘so key’ for Leicester this term.

With the winter window edging ever closer, meanwhile, the Foxes are already seemingly making plans to bring in fresh reinforcements.

Leicester have a chance to sign Mostafa Mohamed after they missed out on the striker in the previous window.

In a bid to solve their issues at right-back, Leicester could sign Archie Gray from Tottenham Hotspur on loan amid his struggles in north London.

Leicester City keen on Bayern Munich gem Mathys Tel

Now, a fresh name has been linked with a move to Leicester this week in the form of Mathys Tel.

The 19-year-old joined current club Bayern Munich from Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennais in 2022 and is currently earning £79k-a-week in Germany, according to Capology.

However, the teenager is finding minutes hard to come by in 2024/25, playing just 112 minutes of Bundesliga action across four outings to date.

In turn, Caught Offside are now reporting that a quartet of Premier League clubs, which includes Leicester, are keen on the winger.

Tel is expected to be made available for loan in the upcoming transfer window in order to garner more first-team action.

Bayern’s stance on a permanent sale is clear, with the German side adamant only a loan move would be sanctioned.

What Mathys Tel would offer Leicester City

Tel is a natural left winger but his versatility means he can operate as a centre-forward or on the opposite flank just as well.

The Frenchman has 95 total career appearances to his name, in which he has scored 25 goals and provided six assists.

To get an idea of the type of player Tel is, we have used Fbref – a football data site which has the option to view and compare players via their stats.

And when looking at similar players to the Bayern gem, the list is pretty impressive.

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is the most similar player to the Leicester target, with Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi, AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia making up the rest of the top five.
