Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of Randal Kolo Muani on transfer deadline day in what could prove to be an underrated signing.
TBR Football understands that Daniel Levy played a key role in signing Kolo Muani, with the Frenchman holding a lot of respect for the Spurs chairman.
Tottenham tried to sign Kolo Muani back in January, however, the 26-year-old instead opted to join Juventus on loan.
The striker’s return to Juve fell apart in the final stages of the window, and Tottenham Hotspur were able to capitalise by bringing him to North London.
Randal Kolo Muani impressed by talks with Thomas Frank
Randal Kolo Muani has revealed that his chat with Thomas Frank convinced him that a move to Spurs was the right option for him.
The French international admitted that he already knew Frank ‘really well’ and how the Danish head coach sold him the project in North London.
Kolo Muani told SpursOfficial: “I already know (the manager) really well, we’ve spoken previously. He told me about the project and it really appealed to me.
“Now I think it’s up to me to show all my qualities out on the pitch.”
Frank had to break a transfer promise to sign Kolo Muani, with the 2022 World Cup finalist having turned Spurs down just seven months prior.
But it’s clear that Frank is more than happy to welcome the former Juve and PSG star to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs needed another striker after learning that Dominic Solanke’s injury could be worse than initially feared.
Why Thomas Frank is excited to work with Randal Kolo Muani at Tottenham
Frank has revealed that he is excited to work with Kolo Muani at Tottenham, given the qualities he can bring to the team, along with his experience and versatility.
The Frenchman has already played in some massive occasions, including knockout Champions League ties and the World Cup final.
Frank told TottenhamHotspur.com: “He’s a good age, in the prime of his career, has good qualities that will suit both us and the Premier League, and gives us a different option in the final third, being able to play out wide and through the middle.
“We are all excited for what Randal can add to the squad, and I’m looking forward to working with him.”
Kolo Muani will be hoping to make his debut for Spurs against West Ham United in the first Premier League match back after the international break.
