TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Randal Kolo Muani is close to making a transfer deadline day switch to Tottenham.

Thomas Frank said “no” when asked if Spurs would be signing a new frontman after the 1-0 loss against Bournemouth on Saturday, telling reporters: “No. I would say not particularly.

“To have the three strikers in the squad can also cause a problem, as you can only play one at a time. It’s a fine balance. I’m not saying we will never go for another striker at another time, but I’m happy with Dom and Richarlison.”

However, sources have now informed TBR Football that Randal Kolo Muani is nearing a move to Tottenham.

Exclusive: Randal Kolo Muani close to Tottenham move

Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has now been told the France international is close to making a loan move from Paris to N17.

Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier on transfer deadline day that Tottenham were seriously exploring a deal for Kolo Muani as PSG aim to offload the France international – and Spurs also aim to find cover for the injured Solanke.

TBR Football now understand that talks between Tottenham and PSG are accelerating, with the Frenchman keen on the move – as he was in January before a loan to Juventus materialised instead.

PSG want a loan with an obligation to buy, although Tottenham would prefer a purchase option.

Despite this current sticking point, sources have confirmed to TBR Football that a deal is close.

Kolo Muani – who Matteo Guendouzi called “one of the best” – is able to play in a central role, which has been a key detail behind the move after the ankle injury suffered by Solanke.

TBR Football initially revealed Kolo Muani could be a deadline day signing by Tottenham on Sunday night – and the move is now heading in the right direction.

Randal Kolo Muani has already shared his thoughts on the Premier League

Kolo Muani is a huge fan of the Premier League, so the 26-year-old could be a roaring success for Spurs as he aims to get his career back on track in the best division in Europe.

After swapping Eintracht Frankfurt for PSG, the man from Bondy told Canal Football Club in 2023: “Honestly, who doesn’t dream of playing in the Premier League? It’s one of the best leagues that exists. You dream about it. These are childhood dreams.”

The 2025/26 campaign is also a World Cup year, so Kolo Muani will surely have the bit between his teeth to impress Didier Deschamps and earn a spot in the squad – even more so after recently being dropped.

Frank has also proven he knows how to get strikers scoring.

Ivan Toney netted 72 goals in 141 appearances under the Dane at Brentford, before Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa – who is joining Newcastle – bagged 70 in 242 games and 49 in 149 outings respectively under his guidance.

Therefore, Frank could help Kolo Muani return to the levels which led PSG to spend £77m on him back in September 2023.
