High level source confirms interest in PSG forward | OneFootball

Over the past few weeks, we have seen Tottenham Hotspur links to a number of players. One of those players has been Paris Saint Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, who has been linked to the club by various sources.

Spurs linked to an out of favour versatile PSG attacker

Now, we have seen highly reputable insider Paul O Keefe confirm that the forward interests Spurs "a lot", amidst all of the current talk. However, if they do want to bring him to North London, they will potentially have to act fast, with fellow Premier League side Aston Villa also said to be interested in the Frenchman.

Back in the 22/23 season, Kolo Muani built a reputation as one of the most highly thought of attackers in Europe, as he scored 15 goals and provided a further 11 assists for Frankfurt in just 2646 minutes. That same season, he scored for France in their World Cup semi-final against Morocco, and was incredibly close to scoring the winning goal in the dying seconds of the final. He currently has 27 caps for Les Blues.

Off the back of that season, the France international got a move back to his homeland to join PSG in the summer of 2023, for around 90 million Euros, but has not lived up to the billing so far, particularly this season, falling seriously out of favour under manager Luis Enrique.

In the 23/24 season, he played 26 and started 13 Ligue 1 games - scoring six goals. This season, he has played 10 and started just two games in the league, scoring twice in that time. It is clear for everyone that he needs something different in January, and that his days in the capital are numbered.

Quality wise, Spurs could probably do better than Kolo Muani, but he does give genuine versatility across the whole front line. Ange has been unable to give adequate rest to Dominic Solanke due to a lack of available back up, something that this signing would be able to give them.

He would be a better option in attack than Timo Werner. Sure, that should not be the benchmark, not at all - but beggars cannot be choosers at the moment. That isn't to say you should lower your standards due to a lack of club ambition, rather just talking based on the current situation. On a simple loan deal, this could be a somewhat useful deal for the club.
