Tottenham backed to agree to Randal Kolo Muani exit on one condition
Randal Kolo Muani has been the subject of constant speculation over his Tottenham future.
Kolo Muani has struggled to get going at Tottenham after joining on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
The French forward has scored just two goals in 23 appearances, but has failed to strike in the Premier League for Thomas Frank‘s side.
A report from The Athletic on 27 January claimed that Juventus want to bring Kolo Muani to Italy, but that would require Spurs to terminate his loan deal.
What is the condition for Kolo Muani exit at Tottenham?
John Wenham believes that there is one condition that needs to be satisfied before Spurs would green-light a recall.
He thinks that they have to source a replacement before the 27-year-old is allowed to return to the Ligue 1 outfit, and then move on to another club.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “Only if Tottenham have got a replacement lined up because Richarlison is injured.
“If Richarlison was fit, absolutely he’s welcome to go back, because apart from when we played PSG away, he has been incredibly underwhelming, his touch has been poor, he still hasn’t got a goal in the league for Tottenham.
“It has been a poor signing and I don’t see any basis on which they’re going to extend this loan after the summer, so, if he could secure a move somewhere else where he’s got, more game time, more opportunities, now that Solanke is back, he will find himself on the bench, Randal Kolo Muani, because Solanke is significantly better than him.
“He’s come back in the team straight away, Solanke, scored against Dortmund, immediately holding up the ball, playing passes, suited to the Premier League better, and he will find himself on the bench.”

Why has it not worked out for Kolo Muani at Tottenham?
Kolo Muani has not hit the heights expected when he signed for the Lilywhites, it is as simple as that.
In Solanke’s absence, they needed him to be scoring regularly, and he could not do what was necessary for the club.
He has not helped himself with a series of lethargic, downhearted displays in which he has barely looked interested.
As Wenham states, it looks like he will be set for even more setbacks as Solanke is back, and he will be left on the bench for most of the time.
Therefore, an exit makes sense for all parties if Spurs can sort a replacement, for their squad depth needs.
