While Liverpool's deal for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is going to dominate much of the transfer deadline day chatter, Tottenham Hotspur are knuckling down and preparing to pull off a few statement deals of their own.
Having won the race for attacking midfielder Xavi Simons earlier this week, Thomas Frank's Tottenham are shaping up nicely, though a home defeat against Bournemouth after back-to-back wins to kick off the Premier League campaign have issued a reminder that there is much work to be done over the months and years ahead.
A lack of bite in that north London clash proved the crux of the club's issues, and maybe it wouldn't hurt for Daniel Levy to oversee an Isak-esque deal down N17 today.
Well, Spurs might just have such a move in the pipeline.
Spurs in talks to sign new striker
Let's be frank, Tottenham's new manager has his work cut out, though the early readings are promising to say the least.
But Dominic Solanke and Richarlison are the leading options at the front of the ship, and another star could work wonders in completing a frontline bearing such potential.
Well, according to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain as they consider a bid for Randal Kolo Muani, who had looked set to join Juventus after a successful loan stint last year, but for the package to unravel at the negotiating table.
Anticipated to cost in excess of £50m, Kolo Muani has also attracted interest from Manchester United this month, but Spurs need a striker and offer the allure of Champions League football.
Keep a close eye on this one.
What Kolo Muani would bring to Spurs
Kolo Muani left Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany two years ago, signing for PSG in a £76m deal. So ended his prolific time in the Bundesliga, and kicked off a frustrating spell back in his homeland, having bagged only 11 goals across 54 matches.
Still, described as a "superstar" by German legend Lothar Matthaus, Kolo Muani has a deadly sense for goals and the athletic and mobile presence in and around the box to make a real difference to Tottenham's attacking line, perhaps even proving the Londoners' own version of Isak.
At Juventus, Kolo Muani proved that class is permanent, scoring ten goals and providing three assists across only 22 matches for the Turin-based outfit.
He also averaged 1.1 key passes per game, according to Sofascore, underscoring his dynamism and will to link up with teammates and deepen the lines of communication on the pitch.
This is something that Isak does (or, rather, did) with such aplomb across his years at St. James' Park, keeping it crisp when on the ball but knowing exactly when to pick out a teammate or shuffle forward himself and strike on goal.
Kolo Muani might not have any Premier League experience under his belt, but he's a seasoned forward both domestically and on the international stage, and has proven his worth when entrusted with a starring role.
Whether Tottenham manage to get this one over the line remains to be seen, but there's no question that it would be a fantastic move for a side in transition, already showing that they have what it takes to hit some lofty heights with Frank at the helm.
