Jamie Redknapp blabs about Harry Kane's text on Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel
Tottenham are among the top European clubs tryin' to sign the young striker.
Spurs have told Bayern they're willin' to cough up £50million to win the race for Tel.
Other Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United are also sniffin' around.
Kane's the reason why Tel wants to leave, as the England captain starts up front for Bayern every week when fit.
Redknapp said that the former Spurs skipper was 'very complimentary' about Tel amidst Tottenham's interest.
Speak in' on Sky Sports Transfer Window, Redknapp said: "I messaged Harry Kane earlier on to ask him what's he like.
"He was very complimentary about him and said first of all he's a great guy.
"He wants to work, good trainer, good finisher, a lot of potential.
"It's a lot of money £50million for a 19-year-old. But Tottenham need players."
Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl has already admitted Tel wants to leave before the transfer window shuts.
“He has said he would like to leave,” said Eberl.
“Now we have to think about whether we will do it and what we will do.”
Tel seemed to be sayin' goodbye to Bayern Munich fans after a 3-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday evenin'.
The fact Spurs are willin' to sign the 19-year-old on a permanent deal is appealin' to Bayern, but the final decision is likely to rest with Tel.
Tottenham are desperate to sign a new forward before the transfer window closes after missin' out to Juventus on PSG's Randal Kolo Muani.
With Kane at Bayern, Tel has struggled to impose himself in Vincent Kompany's peckin' order, with the youngster strugglin' for minutes despite showin' promise.
He scored ten goals and assisted six times last season but has struggled to replicate that form with the Frenchman yet to score this campaign.
Tel has only played 458 minutes this campaign and is yet to play more than 65 minutes in a game.
Reports claim as many as seven clubs are tryin' to sign Tel before the window closes.
