Tottenham contacts PSG to sign Randal Kolo Muani
Tottenham Hotspur have gone ahead manchester united after holding talks with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Randal Kolo Muani this winter, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Despite Spurs' disappointing performances in recent months, their attack has been prolific and they are currently second only to the league's top scorers with 42 goals. Liverpoolwho has scored 47. They now look to add more firepower to their already potent attack with the addition of another striker as they continue to fight for a European spot at the end of the season.
According RomanTottenham established another round of contacts with PSG on Monday about the possible transfer of Kolo Muani to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium this month.
However, the football transfer expert claims the north London side will battle it out with Serie A giants Juventus, who also made contact on Monday to sign the Frenchman, while first division Rival Manchester United are also reported to be closely monitoring the development, but the move depends on the possible departure of Mark Rashford.
Despite Les Parisiens putting strict conditions on Kolo Muani's departure, the 26-year-old will surely live in the Parc des Princes, according to reports Roman.
It is not entirely clear what PSG's conditions are, but it seems that the French champions could be looking to eliminate their €244,000 per week (£205,000 per week) salary from his books.
Priority?
Tottenham made a bold move by spending a club record £55m to secure Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth last summer, and the England international is proving his worth with 17 goal contributions in all competitions so far.
Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski are enjoying impressive form, while Son Heung-min's consistency may fluctuate, but his reliability adds another layer of threat to Spurs' attack. This firepower has helped Tottenham become the Premier League's second-highest scorer, behind only Liverpool.
Incorporating another center forward seems logical to provide depth and share the scoring load with Solanke. However, the choice of Kolo Muani for this role raises questions. The French striker has been underwhelming since joining PSG, failing to reach double figures in Ligue 1, and doubts remain over his ability to adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League.
From an economic and sporting perspective, assuming such a high wage bill to buy a player who has had problems this season would be a risk for Tottenham.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will increase their interest in Kolo Muani, but a move to Old Trafford would make the most sense as the Red Devils desperately need to rejuvenate their attack.
