Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prioritising a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani in the January transfer window.
Manager Ange Postecoglou is determined to enhance his attacking options, and the 26-year-old French international has emerged as a top target for Spurs.
Known for his versatility and dynamism, Kolo Muani is seen as a player who can significantly elevate Tottenham’s frontline.
According to David Ornstein, Tottenham view him as a versatile and dynamic forward who can add significant quality to their frontline.
The 26-year-old striker joined PSG in the summer of 2023 for a substantial €90 million deal after a stellar season with Eintracht Frankfurt. However, Kolo Muani has struggled to cement a regular place in the PSG squad.
PSG are reportedly open to letting the forward leave on a loan deal, aiming to rebuild his value and grant him more consistent playing time.
Tottenham’s interest comes amid competition from other top clubs, including Manchester United and Juventus. Despite the rivalry, Spurs are believed to be one of the frontrunners in the race for the forward’s signature.
Speaking on NBC Sports, Ornstein said:
“He’s a target for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Juventus, who would all like to sign him on loan until the end of the season.
“I think PSG would be open to letting him go on a temporary basis despite the fact that he is under contract until the summer of 2028 because he’s just not getting the game time and they want to rebuild the value having signed him just over a year ago for a deal worth €90 million.
“I’m told that Tottenham see him as their top target for a versatile attacker.
“Manchester United are looking at multiple options and Juventus are in the equation too. Those three clubs are being presented to me as being the leading contenders in this moment in time.”
Kolo Muani’s rise to prominence underscores his enormous potential. At Eintracht Frankfurt, he delivered an outstanding 2022–23 campaign, netting 15 goals and providing 11 assists in the Bundesliga. His performances earned him recognition as one of Europe’s most promising forwards and a move to PSG.
While his debut season in France included notable moments, such as a Champions League goal against AC Milan and strong showings in Ligue 1, Kolo Muani himself has acknowledged that his first year fell short of expectations.
Nevertheless, his versatility, pace, and ability to operate across various attacking positions make him an ideal candidate for the Lilywhites. His skill set aligns perfectly with Postecoglou’s tactical requirements, making him a valuable addition to Spurs’ forward line.
Signing Kolo Muani would not only provide Tottenham with a crucial attacking boost for the remainder of the season but also represent a long-term investment in their ambitions.
