Tottenham Hotspur are set to complete the loan signing of Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani on a Deadline Day coup before the window slams shut this evening.
The 26-year-old spent the back end of last season on loan at Juventus and was prolific with 10 goals in 22 appearances for the Serie A giants. Nonetheless, he is not part of immediate first team plans in the French capital this season.
Spurs have already bolstered their wide options this summer with the arrival of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55 million, with the loan of Bayern Munich star Mathys Tel also made permanent. However, Thomas Frank is yet to have an out-and-out centre forward added to his squad.
Tottenham Hotspur agree deal for Paris Saint-Germain striker
Muani now looks the man to do that with Tottenham Hotspur missing out on a move for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa. Taking to social media platform X shortly after 1 pm on Deadline Day, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano wrote: “BREAKING: Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham, here we go! Deal done for loan move until June 2026. Paris Saint-Germain accept Spurs proposal as Kolo Muani wanted the move + out of the project. Exclusive story, confirmed.”
Romano then added that Spurs will not have a clause that would allow them to buy Muani at the end of the season with fresh discussions needed for that move, should the club want it to happen. Muani cost PSG a huge €90 million when joining from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.
He has gone on to score 11 goals for PSG, picking up two Ligue 1 titles. It’s a head-turning coup for Spurs with Muani set to bring Champions League experience.
Muani hailed as ‘complete striker’ by Kylian Mbappe
Speaking about the player when he first arrived at the Parc des Princes, former PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe said: ‘He is a striker who offers different game options to our team. He is very complete and has an impressive volume of play. We are happy with the game he played on Friday and I hope he scores tomorrow. Tomorrow we will try to get him to score a goal.”
It’s a boost for Spurs with Dominic Solanke’s injury proving more problematic than first thought. After cameos in the first two fixtures of the Premier League campaign, he was absent from the matchday squad against AFC Bournemouth.
Speaking about Solanke, Frank said: “I’m hopeful that he will be back after the international break. Sometimes, you know, we just take a little bit longer time. It’s not like he re-injured it again.
“So, you can say if you have a muscle injury, then you can maybe re-injure, it’s nothing to do with that. It’s not progressing as quick as we hoped for, but we are still positive that it can be solved in the next two weeks.”
