Tottenham transfer news: Terms 'almost agreed' for £82.3m striker after Dominic Solanke injury

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly 'almost agreed' personal terms with an £82.3m striker as Thomas Frank scrambles to bring in a new signing on deadline day.

The Lilywhites went into the 2025-26 campaign with Richarlison and Dominic Solanke as their number nine options, and the former made a scintillating start to the new term with an early Premier League goal-of-the-season contender vs. Burnley.

Richarlison also played a critical role in his side's victory at Manchester City, but he was nullified by Bournemouth in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Cherries, where Frank was also missing record signing Dominic Solanke.

The former Bournemouth striker is currently nursing a new ankle injury, and while it is currently unclear how long he will be sidelined for, his absence leaves Tottenham light in the attacking department.

Spurs were initially not expected to be active on deadline day following the signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, but according to Fabrizio Romano, progress has been made in their attempts to sign Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani.

Tottenham have 'almost agreed' terms with Kolo Muani

The transfer expert claims that personal terms between Tottenham and the 26-year-old are 'almost agreed', and negotiations are now ongoing with the European champions over a deal.

Kolo Muani spent the second half of last season on loan with Serie A giants Juventus, where he reignited his career with 10 goals and three assists in 22 matches in all competitions, including two strikes in three Club World Cup matches.

Juventus were hoping to re-sign Kolo Muani on a permanent basis, but the Bianconeri have not been able to negotiate a deal with the Ligue 1 champions, and Tottenham may now be in pole position to do a deadline day deal.

The transaction would likely be an initial loan move, but Romano adds that PSG are 'insisting' on an obligation to buy being included in the deal for a player they spent £82.3m on in the summer of 2023.

Kolo Muani has struggled to show his best form at the Parc des Princes since that mega-money transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt, though, only managing 11 goals and seven assists in 54 matches for Les Parisiens in all tournaments.

Kolo Muani remains under contract at PSG for another three seasons, but he is surplus to requirements under Luis Enrique and will be allowed to leave in the coming hours if the club's conditions are met.

Could Tottenham face late threat in Kolo Muani chase?

Juventus may be out of the picture for now, but Tottenham could still face a late threat in their pursuit of Kolo Muani, who is also reported to be a target for Bayern Munich.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Bundesliga champions have considered the France international as an alternative to Nicolas Jackson, who was on the verge of joining Bayern on loan from Chelsea before injuries to Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

The Blues insisted on Jackson's return following that double blow, but Chelsea have managed to bring Marc Guiu back to the club from Sunderland, allowing Bayern to reignite their deal for the former.

Jackson is determined to push through a move to the Allianz Arena, so unless there is any unforeseen collapse in that regard, Tottenham may have a free run at Kolo Muani before the 7pm deadline.
