MUNICH — Bayern Munich's sporting director Christoph Freund says the German club wants to keep Mathys Tel, after several media reports linked the French forward to a move to Chelsea. Freund says the 19-year-old Tel was a "very important player" for Bayern and that the club wants to follow a plan for his development. Freund's comments followed reports in British and German media that Chelsea was interested in signing Tel, with some claiming a swap deal could see out-of-form Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku head to Bayern.
