Tottenham ‘front of the queue’ to sign Randal Kolo Muani

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly at the ‘front of the queue’ to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, as per transfer journalist Graeme Bailey.

The Frenchman came onto the scene having displayed impressive performances for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2022/23 season, and following that, Les Parisiens decided to buy him for a huge fee a couple of years ago.

The 26-year-old signed for the German side for free after running his contract down with Nantes, but after just one year, they managed to earn a big profit out of his departure.

However, Kolo Muani couldn’t manage to showcase his best at Parc des Princes, so he joined Juventus on a loan deal last winter. The forward showcased glimpses of his qualities at Allianz Stadium, making 13 goal contributions in 20 appearances in all competitions.

Now, on TBR Football, Bailey states that Juventus want to make Kolo Muani’s loan deal permanent, and the player is prioritising staying at the Italian giants. However, talks between the Bianconeri and PSG aren’t progressing well.

Tottenham are also interested in the forward and are waiting in the wings to pounce if Juventus eventually fail to agree on a deal. Spurs have a strong relationship with Juventus, and they don’t want to ruin it, so they aren’t looking to hijack the move. They are currently at the ‘front of the queue’ to sign the Frenchman if Juventus can’t seal the move.

Kolo Muani to Tottenham

Kolo Muani is a versatile forward as he is comfortable playing in the centre-forward position as well as on the flanks. Spurs want to make him the star of the squad following Son Heung-min’s departure.

After almost a decade at the North London club, the South Korean is leaving this summer, and LAFC are set to be his next destination.

Kolo Muani is currently at the prime stage of his career and is a French international. Therefore, he would be a great coup for Tottenham should they eventually manage to secure his service this summer.

The forward is valued at around £26m by Transfermarkt and still has three years left in his current contract. Therefore, PSG are well placed to recover some of the money they spent on him.

Levy now ready to submit £44m Tottenham bid for “amazing” English star

Despite only just signing Joao Palhinha, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly back in the market for a midfielder and in pole position to sign a La Liga star this summer.

Frank “surprised” by Palhinha deal

After securing a loan deal with an option to buy worth around £26m, Spurs may have just landed an underrated bargain by signing Palhinha. The Bayern Munich midfielder may have endured a tough year in Germany, but it was only two seasons ago that he thrived under Marco Silva at Fulham. And now, he could be the perfect fit for Thomas Frank.

Instantly full of praise for his new arrival, Frank admitted his surprise over Bayern’s decision to open the door for Palhinha’s exit just one year after securing his signature.

The Spurs boss told reporters: “Yeah, I was a bit surprised. Bayern went hard for him for two years and for whatever reason, which I actually don’t care about because we can get him, it was an opportunity for us.

“Sometimes everything goes a little bit in circles. Sometimes it is impossible to get a number nine. Sometimes it is impossible to get a number six. Sometimes it is impossible to get a right-back. At this moment in time, there are not many clear number sixes in the market so we are quite lucky to get him.”

“I think he is a top player. He impressed everyone in the Premier League in the two years he was with Fulham. He is a regular for Portugal. Whatever the reason [Bayern let him go maybe] is the coach, the culture, the club, himself. Sometimes it is difficult to say. My concern is that he wanted to come and we wanted him to come.”

That said, the Lilywhites may not be done there with midfield additions. Alongside Palhinha, reports are now suggesting that they could welcome a second familiar face back to the Premier League.

Tottenham willing to submit Gallagher offer

According to reports in Spain, Tottenham are now willing to submit an offer worth €50m (£44m) to sign Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid this summer. The England international is reportedly free to leave the Spanish club this summer and it is those in North London who are in pole position to secure his signature.

Unlike Palhinha in his first season away from the Premier League, Gallagher received ample game time at Atletico last season. But even after with that game time, he is seemingly destined to suffer the same exit fate as the Portuguese midfielder.

A player who Frank Lampard once dubbed an “amazing character”, Gallagher could now be on his way back to the Premier League and on his way to former London rivals Spurs.
