Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou denies reports that Mathys Tel initially rejected the club before his deadline day move to north London.

Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso are in line to make their Tottenham debuts against Liverpool in this week’s Carabao Cup semi-final decider. In a frantic conclusion to the January transfer window, Tel arrived in north London from Bayern Munich on loan with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

New Tottenham signings Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel are available for Thursday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool. Ange Postecoglou likely faces a choice between Danso and Archie Gray alongside Ben Davies at centre-half after revealing that Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are not fit enough to start at Anfield.
