Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on making a fresh attempt to lure Randal Kolo Muani to Hotspur Way if Juventus do not look to sign him on a permanent basis at the end of his loan switch from reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
Although there is uncertainty over whether Ange Postecoglou will still be in the Spurs dugout by the time next season gets underway, with Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola pinpointed by the hierarchy as their preferred candidate in the event of a managerial alteration being made, the north Londoners are making preparations for the summer transfer window.
A £20.9million fee will need to be forked out on Kevin Danso in the coming months, thanks to the central defender's initial temporary move from Lens including an obligation to buy, but Tottenham are eager to bring in additional firepower after suffering their 16th Premier League defeat of the campaign at the hands of rivals Chelsea earlier this week.
Spurs Given Fresh Hope of Kolo Muani Swoop
North Londoners eager to land Frenchman if opportunity arises
Tottenham are planning to reignite their interest in Kolo Muani if he heads back to parent club PSG at the end of the season, according to GMS sources, and they have been given hope of being able to eventually get the deal over the line as there are increasing doubts over whether Juventus will be in a position to extend his stay at the Allianz Stadium.
The striker opted to join the Serie A heavyweights on a temporary basis after a deal worth up to £4.8million was agreed during the winter transfer window, when the likes of Spurs and Manchester United were also circling, but there is not an option or obligation to purchase him heading into next term.
GMS sources have been informed that Kolo Muani is in line to find himself back on Tottenham's radar in the event of Juventus opting against attempting to negotiate a permanent switch as, regardless of whether Postecoglou remains at the helm, there is a desire to improve their attacking options.
Although the France international joined PSG for up to £77million from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023, Spurs are aware that they will be able to acquire his services for less than that figure as he does not feature at the forefront of head coach Luis Enrique's future plans.
Tottenham have not made a final decision on whether to take advantage of their option to buy Mathys Tel even though he has been enjoying life since arriving from Bayern Munich on an initial loan, GMS sources have learned, but Kolo Muani will be reinstated as a leading target if there is a fresh opportunity to pounce in the summer.

Juventus managerial change could benefit Postecoglou in pursuit
GMS sources have been told that Juventus' decision to sack Thiago Motta last month could play into Tottenham's hands as Kolo Muani was dropped to the bench by new chief Igor Tudor for a win over Genoa last weekend and is in danger of seeing his role diminish in the final weeks of the season.
The change at the helm has resulted in there being doubts over whether the 26-year-old, who has been described as 'exceptional', will be kept in his current surroundings beyond the end of the campaign and that has led to Spurs keeping tabs on his situation as they make plans for their recruitment drive.
Juventus may also not find themselves in a position to sign Kolo Muani permanently if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, GMS sources understand, and Tottenham have wasted no time in making the decision to register their interest if he comes back onto the market after they worked hard to land him during the early stages of the year.
The former Nantes marksman is not the only attacker in the north Londoners' sights as GMS sources recently revealed that chairman Daniel Levy has been working on a deal for Tyler Dibling for a number of weeks, having pinpointed him as a potential recruit from domestic counterparts Southampton.
