The Crystal Palace man has been linked with Spurs

The transfer window merry-go-round is about to head into full swing with three strikers set to be on the move in the final few days.
First of all, Jorgen Strand Larsen looks to be set to join Crystal Palace in a deal worth around £50 million in total.

Right now, Spurs appear to be open to ending the 27-year-old’s loan and allowing him to return to Italy to rejoin Juve.
However, in order to do so, the Lilywhites would need to secure a replacement, and with Mateta becoming available, that looks like an inevitable deal.

Thomas Frank backs Randal Kolo Muani to succeed at Tottenham
Thomas Frank is still backing Kolo Muani to succeed at Tottenham, despite talk of a move away in the next few days.
The French international scored his third goal for the club at his former side Frankfurt on Wednesday to help the team qualify for the Champions League Round of 16.
After the game, Frank said: “First of all, I was very happy that he scored the goal. I think, actually, he looked like a threat.
“I’m very happy that he got the goal, and I said to him, please start scoring against other than your former clubs, that would be nice.
“But we know when you come to a new club, a new country, it’s never straightforward and never in the Premier League. I hope this will give him some confidence.”
