Tottenham Hotspur are being mentioned over making a last-gasp deadline day move to sign Al-Nassr striker Jhon Duran, according to transfer specialist Dean Jones.

Spurs have been linked with bringing in a new attacker during the January transfer window, and have already missed out on a deal to sign Antoine Semenyo, with Manchester City winning the race to sign the Ghana international from Bournemouth.

Tottenham may look to add a new face to their frontline before Monday's 7pm deadline, but the situation is also being complicated by the fact that Randal Kolo Muani is still being linked with an exit from the north London outfit today.

Juventus Knocking on Door for Kolo Muani

According to Jones, posting on X on Monday morning, the Serie A giants are still pushing to land Kolo Muani.

Fabrizio Romano reported last week that Juventus had made a phone call over a deal for the 27-year-old, following rumours that the Frenchman was ready to explore a shock January exit for more playing time.

Kolo Muani's time on loan at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has largely been underwhelming, with Football London journalist Alasdair Gold deeming it unlikely that Spurs would consider signing him permanently this summer.

The forward has three goals and three assists in 25 appearances in all competitions for Spurs this term, starting 12 of their 18 Premier League fixtures in 2025-26.

Of course, the France international is only on a season-long loan at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from Paris Saint-Germain, so a deal would need to be agreed for a termination of the loan, before Juve and PSG then negotiate a new agreement in the next few hours.

Should that end up happening, Spurs are reportedly looking at a move for former Aston Villa star Duran.

It would also be a complicated move for ENIC to complete, with the 'phenomenal' Colombia international currently on loan at Turkish side Fenerbahce from the Saudi Pro League.

Duran moved to Al-Nassr in a deal worth £71m one year ago, but he lasted just six months before being loaned out for the season to Fenerbahce.

After scoring 12 goals in 18 games for the Saudi club, the 22-year-old has five in 21 for Fenerbahce this term.
