Tottenham persist in pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani – Is he truly the right fit? | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Randal Kolo Muani has been the talk of the transfer market in recent weeks.

The French forward, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, is at the centre of a heated bidding war involving major European clubs.

While Spurs are pulling out all the stops to secure the striker, competition from Juventus and Manchester United could complicate matters.

Despite his recent struggles in Paris, Kolo Muani remains a highly sought-after talent, and Tottenham appear determined to add him to their squad.

However, with rumours swirling and negotiations intensifying, the North London club’s chances of landing the player are far from guaranteed.

According to The Boy Hotspur, reports suggest that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has taken a hands-on approach by flying to France to negotiate directly with PSG.

The aim is to finalise a deal for Kolo Muani, who joined PSG last summer in a €90 million move from Eintracht Frankfurt.

However, Juventus have reportedly taken significant steps of their own. Director Cristiano Giuntoli recently hinted at progress, stating there could be “positive news over the next week” regarding Kolo Muani.

This announcement has sparked speculation that the Serie A club are closing in on the French international.

Meanwhile, Tottenham remain resolute in their pursuit. Injury concerns in their attacking lineup, particularly around Richarlison, have heightened the urgency to secure a versatile forward like Kolo Muani.

Ange Postecoglou, Spurs’ manager, sees the 24-year-old as a perfect fit for his attacking system.

Kolo Muani’s form: a mixed picture

While his time at PSG has been underwhelming—just two goals and one assist in 14 appearances—Kolo Muani’s record at Eintracht Frankfurt tells a different story.

In the 2022–23 Bundesliga season, he netted 15 goals and provided 11 assists, showcasing his immense potential.

Across all competitions for the German club, he tallied 26 goals and 17 assists, solidifying his reputation as one of Europe’s brightest attacking talents.

Speaking to Tottenham News, injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar has weighed in on Kolo Muani’s fitness, cautioning Tottenham against expecting him to deliver immediately.

"If the idea is to have him come in immediately and play big minutes, then his lack of minutes this season could be a concern," Brar noted.

"My advice would be to gradually ramp up his minutes in the first few weeks rather than expect him to start every game right away."

Negotiations are heating up, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Tottenham seal the deal, or will Juventus swoop in and steal Kolo Muani right from under them?
