French star ready to join Arsenal or United before deadline

Bayern Munich wonderkid Mathys Tel is open to joining Arsenal or Manchester United before the transfer deadline on Monday.

The Frenchman was recently the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs were willing to pay £50m for his services, but Tel snubbed the move.

The 19-year-old is now waiting for alternative offers. He would prefer to sign for the Gunners or Red Devils before the transfer window closes.

United have opened talks over a loan deal for the Rennes graduate, but they are keeping their options open and have different targets in mind.

Arsenal have been linked with the wonderkid for some time, but they seem focused on landing a marquee striker before the window shuts.

Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins has been on their radar for the past few days, but Villa are adamant that he won't be leaving before the deadline.

The Englishman picked up a groin issue against Wolves today. It could also scupper his chances of securing a dream move to his boyhood club.
