Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to bring in a new striker this window, and the Lilywhites are said to have intensified efforts in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani over the last 48 hours, with the North Londoners keen to beat Italian giants Juventus to his signature, per journalist Mirko Di Natale.
The Premier League heavyweights are said to be interested in taking the France international on loan with an option to buy for £50 million, and the Lilywhites head coach, Ange Postecoglou, has reportedly spoken to Kolo Muani while assuring him of playing time, which will turn out to be a big factor in the decision on if he were to come to White Hart Lane.
The former Frankfurt striker is reportedly looking over his options and might make a decision today [9 January 2025].
Mirko Di Natale taking to X noted:
‼️Today could be a decisive day to know the future of Randal #KoloMuani. The player took some time to decide and could soon dissolve his reservations.
✅ #Tottenham (#THFC) is working on a loan with an option of 60 million and hopes to close the deal as soon as possible. Spurs have accelerated in the last 48 hours to avoid competition from important clubs like #Juve. #Postecoglu has already spoken to the boy and assured him that he will play regularly.
Lilywhites in secure financial position to land Muani
Daniel Levy and Tottenham have shown intent since the winter window opened, with the North Londoners having already brought Antonin Kinsky from Sparta Prague, and evidently, the former Celtic manager is keen on bolstering his roster with further signings expected in the coming weeks.
The Lilywhites are in a strong financial position at the moment, which means Levy is well-equipped to secure the signing with a £50 million option to make Kolo Muani’s loan permanent, and this stands in contrast with other interested clubs like Manchester United, who are struggling financially with PSR and may need to offload players such as Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho to balance their books.
