Alan Shearer has lauded a Tottenham Hotspur star for showing a great attitude and delivering the kind of response that Thomas Frank would have wanted.The injuries to Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke have meant that Richarlison has perhaps played significantly more minutes than Tottenham may have wanted, given his fitness record over the last two years.On Saturday, Thomas Frank chose to rest the Brazilian and handed Mathys Tel his second start of the Premier League season.Thomas Frank previously admitted that Tel’s best position is on the left, but the Frenchman led the line again for the Lilywhites at Elland Road, and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands, delivering a tireless display and scoring the game’s opening goal.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramAlan Shearer lauds Mathys Tel’s attitude after Tottenham snubTel was left out of Tottenham’s Champions League squad by Frank, which was a decision that shocked many, given that he became the Dane’s first signing at Spurs on the back of his loan spell at N17 last season.Rather than sulking or feeling sorry for himself, the Frenchman has done his talking on the pitch, and Shearer believes that it is the perfect response to give to the Tottenham Hotspur boss.Speaking about Tottenham’s win at Elland Road, the Newcastle legend told BBC MOTD (04/10/25): “They (Spurs) were under pressure at times from Leeds; there was always going to be a really tough game there. But I thought that, particularly on the turnover, the transition, once they won that ball, their attitude to get the ball forward as quickly as possible has ultimately helped them win the game.“That’s the reason why they won the game, their forward players I thought were very good, and this is a great example of winning the ball back and straight away a forward pass into the final third and saying to forward players, ‘Go and do your stuff’.“Tel does exactly that, what a great attitude after he’d been left out of the Champions League squad to prove a point today that his attitude was absolutely right.”Tel reveals what he has been working on in the Tottenham training groundSpeaking after Tottenham’s 2-1 win on Saturday, Tel revealed that he has worked hard on his finishing recently.Over recent weeks, Thomas Frank has said that Tel has improved his ability to arrive in the right areas and to time his runs, and that was certainly in evidence for his goal against Leeds.After the game, the Tottenham boss admitted that Tel’s goal made him emotional, praising the character that the 20-year-old has shown since being left out of the Champions League squad.READ MORE: Thomas Frank makes big claim about Xavi Simons’ performance as Tottenham 10The post Alan Shearer is beyond impressed with the attitude of one struggling Tottenham player appeared first on Spurs Web.
