Tottenham Hotspur confirmed the signing of Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani on Monday evening, shortly after the closing of the summer transfer window. As widely reported prior to the confirmation, the France international joins the Premier League club on a season-long loan and will wear the No.29 shirt in North London. Reports suggest that the deal is a straight loan and there’s no buy option with Spurs paying a €5 million loan fee.
Kolo Muani impressed on loan at Juventus last season and the Italian giants wanted to sign him permanently but they couldn’t reach an agreement with PSG. The versatile attacker provided 16 goal contributions in 36 games for Juve and should be a shrewd signing for Tottenham. "I'm really happy and very proud to be at such a great club," said the 26-year-old talent in a club statement. "I can’t wait to meet my team-mates, all the fans and to get out on the pitch. I know what the coach expects from me. I will fight hard for the shirt, the club and the fans. I will give everything for this team."
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank added: “Randal is a quality player who has proven himself over a number of years, playing for big teams in the Champions League and also with good experience for the France national team. 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."
Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham Hotspur
PSG splurged an incredible €95m to sign Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 but he failed to impress at the French giants. The attacker registered 43 goal contributions in 50 games to generate huge excitement at Frankfurt but he only managed 11 goals in 54 goals for PSG. Kolo Muani’s contract runs until 2028 at Paris but he’s realistically not going to play under Luis Enrique.
Kolo Muani will bolster Frank’s attacking options with Spurs strengthening that department across the summer. Mathys Tel’s loan spell from Bayern Munich was made permanent, Mohammed Kudus joined from West Ham and Xavi Simons arrived from RB Leipzig. Frank regularly switches his formation but Kolo Muani will compete with Richarlison and Dominic Solanke to start up front.
