TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Randal Kolo Muani is close to making a transfer deadline day switch to Tottenham.
Thomas Frank said “no” when asked if Spurs would be signing a new frontman after the 1-0 loss against Bournemouth on Saturday, telling reporters: “No. I would say not particularly.
“To have the three strikers in the squad can also cause a problem, as you can only play one at a time. It’s a fine balance. I’m not saying we will never go for another striker at another time, but I’m happy with Dom and Richarlison.”
However, sources have now informed TBR Football that Randal Kolo Muani is now nearing a move to Tottenham.
Exclusive: Randal Kolo Muani close to Tottenham move
Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has now been told the France international is close to making a move from Paris to N17.
Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier on transfer deadline day that Tottenham were seriously exploring a move for Kolo Muani as PSG aim to offload the France international – and Spurs also aim to find cover for the injured Solanke.
TBR Football now understand that talks between Tottenham and PSG are accelerating, with the Frenchman keen on the move – as he was in January before a loan to Juventus materialised instead.
PSG want a loan with an obligation to buy, although Tottenham would prefer a purchase option.
Despite this current sticking point, sources have confirmed to TBR Football that a deal is close.
Kolo Muani – who Matteo Guendouzi called “one of the best” – is able to play in a central role, which has been a key detail behind the move after the ankle injury suffered by Solanke.
