According to TBR Football, Tottenham are leading the chase for PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani — with Juventus talks stalling and Son Heung-min set to join LAFC.
Tottenham Hotspur are at the front of the queue to sign Randal Kolo Muani, as the club prepare for life after Son Heung-min, according to reports.
With Son expected to join LAFC in a surprise MLS move, Spurs are eyeing a dynamic replacement — and Kolo Muani is firmly back on the radar.
The France international spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus after a failed January bid from Tottenham. Despite registering 10 goals in 22 appearances in Turin, negotiations with PSG over a permanent transfer have reportedly hit a wall — opening the door for Spurs.
Why Spurs Are Revisiting Kolo Muani
Tottenham have long admired Kolo Muani’s blend of pace, power and pressing — attributes that align closely with Ange Postecoglou’s aggressive attacking style.
According to TBR Football, Spurs are “keeping very close tabs” on the 26-year-old and see him as the ideal long-term replacement for Son. They were unsuccessful in their bid earlier this year but remain in contact with the player’s camp.
“He’s explosive, relentless, and technically sharp — a perfect modern forward,” said a Spurs recruitment analyst. — TBR Football
Can Tottenham Beat Juventus to the Deal?
Juventus manager Igor Tudor wants to keep Kolo Muani after a strong loan spell, but talks with PSG have stalled. While the player is believed to favour staying in Italy, Tottenham’s consistent interest and Premier League platform could sway the decision — especially if Juventus fail to match the asking price, thought to be around £77m (€90m).
Spurs, meanwhile, are wary of damaging their working relationship with Juve, which has yielded signings like Kulusevski, Bentancur and Romero in recent years.

Analyst Verdict
If Tottenham do move for Kolo Muani, it’s likely to be a marquee signing — and a shift in the way Thomas Frank sets up his forward line. The Frenchman isn’t a like-for-like Son replacement, but offers verticality, clever movement, and work rate that suits a pressing system.
Given Son's emotional importance to the fanbase, Spurs will need to strike the right balance between long-term planning and short-term impact — and Kolo Muani might just offer both.
Key Insights
- Tottenham are monitoring Randal Kolo Muani amid Son’s LAFC move
- Spurs failed to sign the Frenchman in January but remain in contact
- Juventus talks with PSG have hit a standstill
- Tottenham are seen as being “at the front of the queue”
- £77m may be needed to trigger a deal
What’s Next?
Tottenham are keeping close tabs on how Juventus–PSG negotiations develop. If the Italian giants pull out, Spurs are expected to re-engage with PSG directly.
Whether they can meet the £77m price tag — or convince Kolo Muani to swap Turin for north London — could define their post-Son rebuild.
Should Spurs go all in for Kolo Muani — or explore cheaper options?
