Tottenham are facing fresh interest in on-loan striker Randal Kolo Muani before the winter window slams shut.

Last summer, Tottenham signed Kolo Muani on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain despite Juventus’ efforts to bring him back to the Serie A side.

Fast forward to the present, and forward Kolo Muani is already being linked with a Tottenham exit following an underwhelming first half of the campaign.

The 27-year-old has failed to register a solitary goal or assist in 16 Premier League appearances, and for the season as a whole, he has notched just six goal contributions in all competitions.

With Dominic Solanke seemingly Tottenham’s first-choice striker at present, something that has been solidified after a brace against Manchester City on Sunday, Kolo Muani is being linked with a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium departure.

Juventus eye move for Tottenham’s Randal Kolo Muani

In January 2025, France international Kolo Muani was loaned to Serie A team Juventus until the end of the season.

In that short stint, he impressed for the Italian giants, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances. After scoring in his first three Serie A matches, he matched a feat last achieved for the club by Juventus great Roberto Baggio in 1990.

Now, Tuttomercatoweb, state that after mounting interest across January, Juve are making one “last assault” to try and re-sign Kolo Muani on loan.

The report adds that the former Eintracht Frankfurt star, who joined PSG in 2023 for a fee worth up to £78million, is pushing for a return to Turin but Tottenham don’t want to lose him without a replacement.

Kolo Muani is likely to get game time in the second half of the season as Richarlison is out injured and head coach Thomas Frank is likely to rotate between the Frenchman and Solanke.

But a return to Juve appears to be a tempting option. Whether or not it will happen before the winter window slams shut on Monday night is up in the air.

Thomas Frank makes transfer intentions clear

Tottenham may yet secure some deadline day signings before the window shuts, going by comments from Frank.

In mid-January, Tottenham signed Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher for a reported fee of £34million.

But other than recruiting Santos left-back Souza, this window has been fairly quiet for Spurs. However, former Brentford boss Frank is hopeful of doing some more business in the coming hours.

After the 2-2 draw with City, the Dane said: “We are active, no doubt about that. If something happens, let’s see.”

Tottenham currently sit 14th in the Premier League, just nine points clear of the relegation zone. To climb up the table, more signings may be needed.

Tottenham could be in for a busy few hours amid links to Fenerbahce striker Jhon Duran on Monday.

Thomas Frank will be hoping to sign a few more players to improve the squad of his squad, which currently sits 14th in the Premier League.

While Spurs’ comeback against Manchester City to secure a point in the 2-2 draw was encouraging, there’s clearly a dearth of quality at the Danish manager’s disposal.

There seems to be a particular emphasis on the attacking department going through a mini-overhaul soon, and the former Aston Villa centre-forward may be on his way to N17 before the 2 February deadline.

Jhon Duran an option for Tottenham if Randal Kolo Muani joins Juventus

Duran’s name has been mentioned at Tottenham as a potential replacement for Randal Kolo Muani, according to Dean Jones.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The TEAMtalk journalist has claimed that Juventus are pursuing a deal for the French striker, but Spurs have no intention to sanction the forward’s exit from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, in case the 27-year-old leaves, the North London outfit will have to sign a new number nine, with Duran emerging as an option.

The 22-year-old Colombia international was a hot property during his spell at Aston Villa, but he hasn’t hit the heights expected since leaving the Premier League, as evidenced by his Sofascore stats.

Spurs to make one last attempt for Andy Robertson deal

Tottenham are expected to make one final check on Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson before the 7pm deadline, according to football.london.

The news outlet reports that while Spurs’ main focus is on reinforcing their attack in the coming hours, they”re still monitoring the Scotland international’s situation at Anfield.

While the North London outfit have agreed a deal in principle with the Reds for the 31-year-old, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him, but the defender would certainly add solidity to their backline, considering his Sofascore record from this season.

Liverpool are waiting to see whether they can bring Konstantinos Tsimikas back from his loan spell at Roma before signing off on Robertson’s exit.

Antonin Kinksy going nowhere amid West Ham United interest

West Ham United have indeed expressed interest in signing Antonin Kinsky from Tottenham, according to Sky Sports.

The news outlet reports that while the Hammers have the Czechia goalkeeper on their radar, Spurs have no intention of parting ways with him at this stage.

It looks like Kinsky, 22, won’t be leaving the North London outfit anytime soon despite struggling for game time under Frank this season.

Guglielmo Vicario hasn’t really set the world alight with his performances for the Lilywhites this season, and it makes sense to keep the former Slavia Prague shot-stopper, with Brandon Austin the only other backup.

Callum Olusesi’s proposed move to Serie A side Torino appears to be in doubt.

Olusesi underwent a medical with Torino over the weekend, as the final formalities of the deal were being completed.

The 18-year-old hasn’t made a competitive first-team appearance for Tottenham this season, with his sole senior outing coming in the Europa League against Hoffenheim in January last year.

Olusesi signed a new contract with Spurs in April 2025, which now sees his current deal run until the 2029.

Callum Olusesi’s Torino move on hold

Evidently then, Olusesi is a player that is rated highly in N17, with the central midfielder seemingly having a bright future ahead of him.

MORE SPURS STORIES

So much so that in the last few days, it’s been reported that Hoffenheim and PSV have seen bids worth around £6million for Olusesi rejected, as Tottenham seeming appear unwilling to commit to a permanent sale.

However, they do seem to be open to letting the central midfielder leave on loan, and it’s widely reported that Olusesi’s proposed move to Torino does include an option for the Italian outfit to purchase him.

And, with a medical having been completed and the player in Turin ready to sign on as a Torino player, everything was pointing towards this loan switch being tied up well in advance of Monday’s 7pm deadline.

Now though, things have changed. As per a report from TuttoMercatoWeb, for reasons that are said to be unclear, the deal is now understood to be on hold.

It’s stated that the frameworks of the move were agreed upon by both parties, and so it’s currently not known why progress has been stopped at the final hurdle.

Deadline day clue could answer Olusesi hold up question

As is the case when it comes to deadline day, things can change very quickly.

Teams can hijack deals at the last second, with heads being turned despite having all but the contract left to sign with their proposed new club.

This could be the case with Olusesi and Torino too, as reports on Monday have emerged that he does have interest from across European football.

Clubs in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and in England are all understood to be keen on Olusesi, so it could be a case of a more attractive proposition turning up out of nowhere that’s got him changing his mind.

At this stage, however, that is purely speculation.

Tottenham teenager Mason Melia is set to remain in N17 beyond Monday’s 7pm transfer deadline.

Melia signed for Tottenham in February 2025, as Spurs made him the League of Ireland’s most expensive ever player in a £1.6million deal with St Patrick’s Athletic.

A 17-year-old at the time, Melia was understood to have held meetings with then-Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, who helped convince the striker to sign for the Lilywhites.

The Republic of Ireland youth international is one of the brightest young prospects in Irish football for many years, and is tipped for a big future ahead of him.

Tottenham outline first-team Mason Melia plan as loan call made

With Dominic Solanke picking up a slight knock against Man City, and with Randal Kolo Muani’s future up in the air ahead of Monday’s deadline, Thomas Frank could see his centre-forward options stretched thin.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, with Melia being signed under the previous regime, it has remained unclear as to how highly Frank rates the young Irishman.

Melia fired home 15 times in 44 total appearances for St Patrick’s Athletic in his final 2025 season with the Dublin-based outfit, which helped to truly affirm himself as a top talent.

But, having only officially joined Tottenham from 1 January this year, he’s still yet to make his competitive debut for Spurs.

He did arrive in N17 already suffering from a back injury though, but as revealed in an X post by Football.London reporter Alasdair Gold on Monday, he’s now on the verge of returning to fitness.

Gold also reports that Tottenham aren’t expected to send Melia out on loan before the window closes, as they are hoping he will start getting involved with the first-team.

Melia plan could explain Spurs’ Dane Scarlett exit

On Friday, it was announced that Dane Scarlett has joined Hibernian on loan for the remainder of the season, after making just five first-team appearances this season.

The 21-year-old has largely been an unused substitute for Spurs this term, and it now looks as though his role is set to be given to Melia.

With Scarlett being three years older than Melia, he doesn’t have the same luxury of time to largely sit on the bench, as he will want to really kick-start his career now.

Whereas with Melia, getting him involved around the first-team matchday squads could be a really valuable experience for him, even if it largely consists of making up the numbers for now.

Tottenham will be exploring attacking signings on deadline day as well as holding out hope for a late change to Andy Robertson’s situation.

Robertson looked set to complete a permanent switch to Tottenham earlier in the window, but Liverpool blocked the move due to a lack of depth at left-back.

Arne Slot’s side are working hard to bring Kostas Tsimikas back from his loan spell at Roma, but with no recall option in the Greek international’s contract, they are struggling to negotiate his return.

Spurs remain interested in Robertson, and Thomas Frank would jump at the opportunity to add some more experience to his squad.

Tottenham working on new attacking deals

According to football.london, Tottenham’s main focus will be on deals to improve their attacking ranks, but they will make a late check on Robertson’s status on deadline day.

The North London side had agreed a deal in principle to sign the Scotland international, and Liverpool’s win over Qarabag was meant to be his final game for the club.

However, no deal will be finalised unless the Reds can bring Tsimikas back to Anfield.

While they wait for movement on Liverpool’s end, Spurs will be aiming to strengthen their forward ranks with Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche still a target in the closing stages of the winter window.

The 23-year-old Frenchman has long been linked with a move to North London, and could help solve some of Frank’s issues on the right-hand side.

Thomas Frank given Tottenham lifeline

Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Sunday evening has given Frank something to build on in the coming weeks.

The second half performance was superb from Spurs, as they came back from two goals down to rescue a point against Pep Guardiola’s side.

After 45 minutes, it had looked as if no amount of deadline day business could rescue the Dane’s reputation in North London.

However, Frank will now be pushing hard to get deals over the line before the window shuts, to help support the likes of Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke, who were both instrumental in the comeback.

Tottenham could be active right until the close of play on transfer deadline day.

Spurs have so far brought in Conor Gallagher and Souza, while Brennan Johnson was a big-name departure earlier in the window.

Thomas Frank’s side continue to be linked with numerous names, though, ahead of the window closing at 7pm on Monday.

There could still be time for one or two more exits and arrivals on the final day of business, with Spurs clearly in need of more options in numerous positions.

Tottenham ready unexpected deadline day transfer amid ‘crisis’

If there is one area Tottenham could particularly do with an extra player right now, it’s in defence.

Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky Van de Ven and Ben Davies are all nursing injuries right now, while Cristian Romero went off at half-time against Manchester City.

Djed Spence is also now injured, which could see Tottenham make a deadline-day move for a new defender.

Spurs are said to be enduring a “crisis” right now, with Radu Dragusin being handed a rare start against City and Palhinha having to drop into the backline.

Radu Dragusin subject of new approach abroad, it could now impact Chelsea

On the subject of Dragusin, the centre-back has been linked with numerous clubs across Europe over the past few weeks.

Fiorentina are long-time admirers and have been eager to strike a deal with Tottenham for Dragusin’s signature.

And it appears Fiorentina have lodged a fresh approach for Dragusin, but the Romania international does not want to join the Serie A side.

That could see Fiorentina instead move for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.

Randal Kolo Muani wants to leave Tottenham in final hours of transfer window

There has been a big question marking hanging over Randal Kolo Muani throughout the winter transfer window.

And a decision on the on-loan Paris Saint-Germain forward will be made one way or another on deadline day.

It has been reported that Juventus are sat waiting by the phone for a Kolo Muani update as they could yet make a last-gasp move.

Kolo Muani, for his part, is said to want to move to the side he previously spent time on loan with last year.

However, given Dominic Solanke picked up a knock in the draw against City, that exit will surely not be sanctioned.

Solanke, as highlighted by the Sofascore graphic above, was superb on Sunday and will be a big loss if he is facing another spell out.

Tottenham to seal nick-of-time deal for Maghnes Akliouche after shock Monaco announcement

AS Monaco star Maghnes Akliouche is one of those Tottenham could attempt to bring in before the window closes.

Akliouche was surprisingly benched for just the second time this campaign for Monaco’s 4-0 win over Rennes on Saturday.

Tottenham hold a significant interest in Akliouche and this development may pave the way for Spurs to pounce in a last-gasp deal.

However, it is fair to say time is not on the Lilywhites’ side.

Thomas Frank was handed a big blow before his side took on Manchester City, with Djed Spence picking up a calf injury.

Facing up against Pep Guardiola’s side was never going to be an easy challenge, but the build-up of injuries currently at the club had made getting a result all the more difficult.

Spurs have been looking to spend this transfer window, but their reported deals keep on falling through. Frank admitted he wanted to sign Antoine Semenyo before he made the switch to Manchester.

It is clear that the North London side are looking to strengthen in attack, with Maghnes Akliouche a potential candidate for Tottenham.

Additionally, Raheem Sterling is among the names targeted by Spurs, but the injury to Spence could now force them to move elsewhere in the market.

Thomas Frank tipped to make defensive signing at Tottenham

Spence’s injury meant he was added to the list of Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky Van de Ven and Ben Davies as Spurs’ injury crisis at the back continues.

The build-up of injuries meant Tottenham were forced to play Joao Palhinha at centre-back, with Archie Gray covering as a right wing-back.

Frank’s problems may have later been compounded with Cristian Romero unexpectedly withdrawn at half-time in the 2-2 draw against Man City on Sunday.

The latest injury to Spence could now force Spurs’ hand, with the club tipped to make a signing before the deadline.

The Sun states that amid “Tottenham’s injury crisis”, they could “now target another defender [on Monday] given their current predicament in that area.”

The N27 outfit had been targeting Liverpool’s Andy Robertson, but the Reds are undergoing their own injury crisis at the back, and with no backup left-back secured, that move is unlikely to move forward.

However, with both Souza and Destiny Udogie available, another left-sided option seems like the least of Frank’s worries.

How long is Djed Spence injured for?

Spence looks set to be sidelined for a month with a calf issue, meaning Frank could be without a natural right-back or right wing-back until the end of February.

Porro is also set to be out for a similar period, meaning if a new signing cannot get over the line, Archie Gray could have a prolonged spell out on the wide right.

Going out and buying or even loaning a temporary solution is not usually ideal, but the Lilywhites’ injuries keep on piling up.

With results poor and performances lacking, the North London club need to give themselves the best chance of climbing up the table before it becomes too late to secure a spot in Europe next season.

Tottenham secured a morale-boosting point against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Amid a season where Spurs had dropped to 15th in the table, Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is fighting for his job.

Despite enjoying an impressive Champions League campaign, where Tottenham qualified for the last 16 with relative comfort, their league form has been troubling.

Indeed, Frank’s side had not won in the Premier League since a 1-0 victory at struggling Crystal Palace back on 28 December, 2025.

However, on Sunday, they claimed a very creditable 2-2 comeback draw with Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, although the result was not without controversy.

Premier League explains decision to award Dominic Solanke goal

Tottenham looked to be heading to another home defeat after goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo gave City a comfortable lead at half time.

But Spurs looked a different team in the second half as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 on Sunday evening.

Dominic Solanke’s double, the second of which was a terrific bit of improvisation from Conor Gallagher’s cross, ensured Tottenham fans went home a bit happier.

It could have been very different, though, had VAR ruled differently on Solanke’s first goal against City in the 53rd minute.

According to the Premier League Match Centre via X, referee Rob Jones awarded Spurs the goal despite a coming together with Solanke and City’s Marc Guehi.

Pep Guardiola’s side felt the England centre-back was fouled by the striker but the officials thought otherwise as Tottenham got back into the game.

The result means Spurs are up to 14th and sit nine points above the relegation zone, whereas City are six points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Thomas Frank to get stay of execution at Tottenham?

When Ange Postecoglou was sacked last year, the Tottenham hierarchy pointed to a particularly poor Premier League season where they finished 17th.

Spurs ended their 17-year wait for silverware by lifting the Europa League trophy at Manchester United’s expense, but that was not enough to save the Australian’s job.

Fast forward to February 2026, and Tottenham are in a similar position in the league but the football is, arguably, far less exciting.

They may be more defensively sound but Frank has one of the worst win percentage records this century among Tottenham managers.

If they don’t start climbing up the table soon, the former Brentford boss – whose side were also dumped out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup earlier this season – may be looking for a new job.

Dominic Solanke’s injury-hit season with Tottenham could be about to get worse.

Tottenham came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Manchester City, though with Spurs still having won just two games at home this season, it will do little to distract from the ongoing concerns.

Spurs have the fourth-worst home record in the Premier League despite what as wasn impressive point in the end, though they have Solanke to thank for that not being worse.

The Englishman scored twice to rescue the game for Spurs, as highlighted by Sofascore, but a new concern has emerged after what he was spotted doing in the latter stages of the clash.

Domic Solanke injury fears refuse to go away

Solanke has been limited to just nine appearances this season, having suffered an injury in August that ruled him out for several months.

MORE SPURS STORIES

With Randal Kolo Muani failing to impress, his absence has certainly been felt, and with four goal contributions in his last five games, he will be needed if this form is to end.

However, the Englishman was denied a hat-trick against Man City as a result of an ankle injury that had him “hobbling around a fair bit”, as noticed by Alisdair Gold.

Not long after, Solanke was forced off the pitch, despite the score being level.

While there will be some hope that it was just a scare based on the fact he did an interview after the game describing the injury as a “rolled ankle”, Spurs fans will know of this situation far too well, with what has gone on over the last 12 months from an injury perspective.

Tottenham can’t ignore deadline day priority

If Solanke is fit, and to add to that, if he can stay fit, Tottenham will be fine from a goalscoring perspective.

However, the quality drops massively whenever he isnt on the pitch, and that needs to be addressed.

It’s not only his goals, but also his ability to link play and hold the ball up to bring his teammates into play high up the pitch.

Kolo Muani simply isnt the answer, and yet he is the only other option that Thomas Frank has at his disposal.

Given the time in the window, signing a striker will be easier said than done, but a failure to do so could prove to be detrimental if anything comes of this recent injury scare.

Thomas Frank’s days are numbered as Tottenham manager.

Tottenham came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Man City on Sunday afternoon, with Dominic Solanke scoring both of the goals.

The performance in the second half perhaps warranted more, but after yet another home encounter without a win, that will do nothing to distract from the major concerns that are still growing.

Frank could easily have been sacked weeks ago in North London, but after a new image that surfaced from the clash with Man City, that decision may now only be hours away.

Vinai Venkatesham spotted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Standing alongside Peter Charrington, Vinai Venkatesham was in attendance to watch Tottenham secure a point against Manchester City, but also struggle to compete for the first 45 minutes.

Venkatesham was appointed as Tottenham CEO in the summer, following his exit from Arsenal.

His appearance may prove to be nothing, but it could also signal that a change is expected at Tottenham in the shape of Frank.

The Dane has showcased time and time again that he doesn’t have what it takes to take this club to the next level, and with Spurs now having won just two of their 12 home games this season, a decision could be imminent.

Roberto De Zerbi is one of the frontrunners for the Tottenham job should Frank depart, which feels like an inevitability sooner rather than later.

Thomas Frank is heading for the same fate as Ange Postecoglou

Ange Postecoglou almost got Tottenham relegated last season, and had it not been for such a lack of quality at the bottom of the table, those fears would have been stronger.

However, he also delivered a Europa League trophy, and still faced the sack from Daniel Levy.

After 24 games last season, Spurs had 27 points, which is only two fewer than they have now, and actually had one more win.

That domestic form is not sustainable for Tottenham, and is the sole reason that Frank is at risk of the sack.

Usually, a draw against Man City would be a good result, especially after going 2-0 down, but until Tottenham start winning their games at home, that will never be the feeling.
