A player whom Tottenham Hotspur only signed in the summer has emerged as a target for Roma ahead of the January transfer window.It has been mixed fortunes so far for the seven signings that Tottenham made in the summer, with some faring much better than others.While the limelight has been focused on the struggles of Xavi Simons, another highly-rated youngster who arrived through the door at N17 in a permanent deal in the summer, is yet to find his feet in the Premier League.It has now been suggested that he may be bound for the exit door in the upcoming transfer window.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramMathys Tel wants to leave Tottenham amidst transfer interestA couple of days ago, we relayed a report from Italy which claimed that Mathys Tel is on the radar of AS Roma.This has now been backed up by a report in Gazzetta dello Sport, which states that AS Roma have identified Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee as their top target.Should the Gialorrossi fail to agree on a deal, they are expected to turn to Tel, who they see as a versatile option who can be used on the flanks and as a number nine.Interestingly, Gazzetta say that the former Bayern Munich man is in favour of leaving Spurs after being left out of their Champions League squad.It is asserted that Tel wants regular game time and is thus open to exiting the North London club on loan.Why Spurs are unlikely to consider offloading Tel in JanuaryTottenham have had issues in the number nine role, and it has even been widely reported that Spurs are looking to add another striker to their squad in January.Additionally, Randal Kolo Muani could be out of action for the foreseeable future after fracturing his jaw.It thus appears unlikely that Thomas Frank would consider weakening his squad mid-season by letting go of Tel.READ MORE: How Jarrod Bowen feels about Tottenham transfer links as West Ham flirt with relegationThe post Roma interested in wantaway £30m Tottenham player just six months after his N17 move appeared first on Spurs Web.
