Mathys Tel has reportedly decided to join Tottenham, after initially having doubts about a move to north London, having been talked into a transfer deadline day switch by Ange Postecoglou.
The teenager has struggled for form at Bayern Munich this season and is currently behind Harry Kane in Vincent Kompany's pecking order.
Manchester United and Arsenal have both been linked with Tel in recent weeks.
But Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the youngster is on his way to Tottenham, despite turning down a move over the weekend.

Tel is set to join Spurs on loan, with the deal not set to have any option for Tottenham to buy the player permanently come the end of the season.
Now, according to ESPN's Julien Laurens, the Frenchman has performed a U-turn after speaking with Postecoglou.
He wrote on X: "Ange Postecoglou spoke with Mathys Tel at length earlier today and convinced him to come to Tottenham.
"Huge role played by the Spurs manager to get one of the most coveted youngsters in Europe!"

Tottenham need a striker to cover for Dominic Solanke.
It is currently unclear when the ex-Bournemouth striker will return, having last featured in their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on January 15.
Tel will also become the latest player to represent both Tottenham and Bayern.
Kane and Eric Dier are part of that small club, as well as Ivan Perisic, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Christian Ziege, Jurgen Klinsmann and Allan Nielsen.
As for United and Arsenal, they're set to go back to the drawing board.
The Red Devils have insisted they're relaxed about their situation in attack, despite their dire form.
Despite loaning out both Antony and Marcus Rashford, it's not unfeasible that deadline day will pass without any new forwards arriving.
Arsenal may also stick with what they have, even though Mikel Arteta would love to bring in a new marksman to lead his attack.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou was delighted on Sunday as Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0 to ease some of the pressure on the Australian's shoulders.
Discussing his team's victory, he said: "I guess in the context of where we are in terms of the season, yes, it's an important one because, like I said, our league position's not good enough, we need to address that.
"We need to improve, but it's still the same group of players doing Thursday, Sunday. You can't get away from that fact, and, you know, people can kind of dismiss it, but playing Thursday, Sunday, consistently without being able to rotate takes its toll.
"The Premier League is a relentless competition. You're meeting teams who've had a seven day break and we've had literally 48 hours sometimes, so from that perspective, I think the pleasing thing is that, you know, we got Micky [van de Ven] back on Thursday night, we got Djed [Spence]back in today, signing Kevin [Danso], at least the group now, I think are getting some sort of encouragement and energy from the fact they're getting some help and certainly, I've got no doubt they'll assist us in in addressing our our position in the league.

"We've got some massive opportunities as well in the back half of the year, so important because we have to improve in the league.
"There's no doubt about it, where we are it's not good enough, but I think significant because it was again done by the same group of players who we've asked to do this for quite a while now."
