Tottenham Hotspur have completed a deadline day swoop for Randal Kolo Muani, securing the France international on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old forward becomes Thomas Frank’s seventh senior addition of the summer, adding both quality and versatility to Spurs’ frontline.
Kolo Muani, capped 31 times by France, arrives to bolster Spurs’ attack amid fitness concerns for Dominic Solanke, who missed the weekend defeat to Bournemouth with an ankle injury. Spurs reignited their interest in Kolo Muani after previous talks in January stalled, finally securing their man after Juventus failed to reach an agreement with PSG to extend his stay in Turin.
Reaction From Player and Manager
Kolo Muani expressed his delight after signing, promising Spurs fans full commitment.
“I’m really happy and very proud to be at such a great club. 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.” — Randal Kolo Muani, on signing for Spurs
Manager Thomas Frank highlighted the forward’s versatility, stressing his ability to operate across the frontline.
“He’s a good age, in the prime of his career, has good qualities that will suit both us and the Premier League. He gives us a different option in the final third, being able to play out wide and through the middle.” — Thomas Frank, Tottenham head coach

Kolo Muani’s numbers show a mixed campaign — strong early contributions at Juventus before his form dipped late in the season. His versatility across the front three, however, makes him a valuable addition for Spurs.
Analyst Verdict
FootballPlace analyst John William said:
“This is a clever deal by Tottenham. Kolo Muani gives Thomas Frank a reliable option if Solanke’s injuries persist. His ability to play both centrally and out wide gives Spurs tactical flexibility, something Frank has prioritised since taking over.”
He added:
“While his finishing touch was inconsistent last season, his movement and pace will trouble Premier League defences. Spurs fans should see him as a versatile forward who can complement their existing attackers rather than a guaranteed 20-goal striker.”
Key Insights
- Tottenham sign Randal Kolo Muani on loan from PSG.
- French striker has 31 senior caps for France.
- Spurs cover fitness concerns for Solanke with versatile option.

What’s Next?
Kolo Muani has already joined Spurs training and could debut after the international break. Frank is expected to rotate him between wide and central roles, depending on Solanke’s recovery timeline.
For PSG, the loan move ensures their squad is streamlined, while Tottenham get a Champions League-experienced forward to bolster their attack.
Can Randal Kolo Muani reignite his form in the Premier League and prove to be the solution to Spurs’ attacking depth issues?
