Randal Kolo Muani rewarded for emergence under Thomas Frank as announcement made away from Tottenham
Randal Kolo Muani will be absolutely thrilled with how he’s settled into Tottenham’s starting lineup, with his form now rewarded with a France call-up.
Kolo Muani joined Spurs on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain, and he’s started the last two Premier League matches under Thomas Frank.
In Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Copenhagen, Kolo Muani chased down goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski, before bringing the ball down brilliantly and teeing up Wilson Odobert to make it 2-0.
Kolo Muani is beginning to find his feet at Tottenham, and he has managed to earn himself a call-up to the France squad for the upcoming international break.
Randal Kolo Muani returns to France squad
The imposing striker has scored nine goals in 31 caps for his country, and he’s desperate to appear in successive World Cups for Les Bleus.
Kolo Muani was part of the France squad that lost out to Argentina in the thrilling 2022 World Cup final.
The 26-year-old has been prolific throughout his career and he has prominently featured in the France squad since his debut in 2022.
For Tottenham, his hold-up play has been key, registering a pass accuracy of 86.7 per cent in the Premier League.
He is the striker with the best pass accuracy in the top flight to have played over 100 minutes, and his call-up to the France squad is not a surprise based on his fantastic goalscoring record.
| Team | Games played | Goals scored |
| Nantes | 81 | 23 |
| Frankfurt | 50 | 36 |
| Paris Saint-Germain | 54 | 11 |
| Juventus | 22 | 10 |
France are looking to secure their qualification for the 2026 World Cup in their matches against Ukraine and Azerbaijan on 13 and 16 November.
It’s not just his ability to retain the ball that has been impressive, as the striker has been dispossessed only twice in 146 minutes of action.
Kolo Muani’s injury-ridden start to the season didn’t help with how he settled into the team, yet since replacing Richarlison up front, he has shown his potential to be a success.
Due to his injury issues, the 26-year-old was left out of the last international squad, and he’ll be desperate to prove himself again under Didier Deschamps.
Of course, he needs to score his first goal in a Tottenham shirt, and huge matches against Man United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain signify a huge month ahead.
Randal Kolo Muani primed for first Spurs goal vs Man United
Spurs take on the Red Devils at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, and the signs are promising for Kolo Muani to break his duck.
Ruben Amorim’s side have only kept one clean sheet in all competitions and eight goals conceded in the last five games bodes well for the French striker.
Frank has gotten the best out of Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney in the past, and with Kolo Muani possessing a similar profile, it’s clear that the 23-year-old could become a major success at Tottenham.
There’s a real chance that he gets off the mark for his new club, and after his performance on Tuesday against Copenhagen, there’s no reason why Kolo Muani shouldn’t be full of confidence.
