Tottenham Hotspur capped off their summer transfer window with the deadline-day signing of French international Randal Kolo Muani, who arrives on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old forward adds much-needed depth and versatility to manager Thomas Frank’s attacking options in his first season in charge of Spurs.

Strengthening Tottenham’s Forward Line
The addition of Kolo Muani provides crucial cover in the center-forward role, currently led by the in-form Richarlison. While the Brazilian striker has enjoyed a strong start to the season, his time at Spurs has often been hampered by injuries, raising questions about his long-term fitness and consistency.
Last summer’s marquee signing, Dominic Solanke, has also struggled with an ankle injury sustained during preseason. The England international has only managed one substitute appearance in Tottenham’s opening three matches. With uncertainty surrounding the fitness of both Richarlison and Solanke, bringing in another proven striker was a smart move from Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and the recruitment team.
Kolo Muani’s Career and Goal-Scoring Record
Kolo Muani began his professional career in 2018 with Nantes in Ligue 1, showcasing his potential as a teenager. His breakout campaign came in the 2022/23 Bundesliga season with Eintracht Frankfurt, where he scored 15 goals in 32 matches.
Although his recent form has dipped slightly—netting 8 goals each in his last two seasons with PSG and Juventus—Kolo Muani has consistently demonstrated natural goal-scoring instincts and attacking versatility. Tottenham will hope that under Frank’s guidance, he can rediscover the explosive form that made him one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards.
Tactical Flexibility for Thomas Frank
While primarily a striker, Kolo Muani can also operate on the wings, a trait that fits perfectly with Frank’s tactical flexibility. His ability to adapt to multiple attacking roles will allow Spurs to rotate options and keep opponents guessing throughout a demanding season in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
A Busy but Frustrating Transfer Window
For much of the summer, Spurs fans endured frustration as high-profile targets such as Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze slipped through their fingers. However, Levy and Frank still managed to deliver an active window, particularly in bolstering the attack.
Alongside Kolo Muani, Tottenham added Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus, both of whom bring pace, creativity, and attacking flair. Kudus, in particular, has already made an immediate impression with the supporters.
What This Means for Tottenham
Tottenham’s attacking depth now looks stronger than it has in recent seasons, with a blend of proven scorers and dynamic playmakers. Whether this revamped frontline can sustain success across multiple competitions remains to be seen, but the arrival of Kolo Muani gives Spurs another reliable option up front as they aim to challenge both domestically and in Europe.
