Randal Kolo Muani could play in a variety of roles for Tottenham under Thomas Frank.
The North London club secured the services of the French international on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day. While multiple top clubs were after his signature, Spurs managed to beat the competition to his signature.
His arrival certainly bolsters their attack, and he could have a massive impact on their season. The 26-year-old prefers playing as a number nine, but according to Graeme Bailey via GiveMeSport, Kolo Muani could feature all across the front line, as Thomas Frank is quite open-minded concerning his role at the club.
Where Randal Kolo Muani could fit in?
While speaking about his role at Tottenham, Bailey said: “I am told that he arrived with Frank fairly open-minded.
“I think he likes the fact that Richarlison, Johnson, Kolo Muani, even Tel, can mix and match, so you could see Richarlison and Kolo Muani out wide, with Johnson centrally – for sure. I personally believe we see Kolo Muani playing multiple roles.”
While things didn’t go according to plan for the French striker at PSG, he did revive his career with an impressive loan spell at Juventus in the second half of last season. The Old Lady were interested in re-signing him, but eventually decided against him.
Kolo Muani could be a handy option
With Dominic Solanke picking up an ankle injury, Spurs entered the race and managed to strike a deal with the Ligue 1 giants for the 26-year-old. While he will certainly compete with Solanke for the number nine role, Kolo Muani is also expected to feature out wide on either flank. He certainly has the quality to have an impact from the flanks.
Frank is delighted to have another versatile forward at his disposal. The former Brentford manager believes Kolo Muani, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, and Mathys Tel could all contribute in a variety of roles, which will certainly give them an edge going forward. Apart from his versatility, the French striker will also add a lot of goals and could help them cope with the absence of Son Heung-min.
