Tottenham new favourites to sign Kolo Muani, odds slashed in major twist

Tottenham have been tipped as the new favourites to sign Randal Kolo Muani during the January transfer window.

Sky Bet previously rated Arsenal as 4/1 odd-on favourites to acquire the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker's services, but are now priced at 10/1.

Spurs, meanwhile, have seen their chances go from 8/1 as recently as Friday (3 January) to 7/4, putting them in the box seat to sign the 26-year-old.

Behind them are Aston Villa, who are priced at 8/1, while Manchester United are placed alongside Arsenal with their odds reading 10/1.

Tottenham in race to sign Randal Kolo Muani as PSG exit looms

Kolo Muani is being heavily linked with a move away from PSG this month after playing time hard to come by in Paris in the first half of the season.

He has been restricted to just 350 minutes of Ligue 1 action so far and was left out of the matchday squad on three occasions, including in PSG's last two games leading up to the Christmas break.

The Premier League is being mooted as a potential destination, with Tottenham already a strong option.

With Richarlison sidelined with an injury and Timo Werner failing to impress in his second loan stint, the France international is certainly an interesting option for Ange Postecoglou's side.
