Tottenham forward now wants to leave in final hours of transfer window, new club waits by the phone
Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Tottenham now seems to be coming to a critical juncture after a recent transfer saga.
Thomas Frank, Johan Lange and the rest of the hierarchy at Spurs will need to sit down over the coming hours to discuss the futures of multiple players.
Tottenham are still trying to make signings before Monday’s deadline, but know that they have to sanction moves for the right players, and not overspend.
However, departures are just as important at N17, as Kolo Muani’s future at Spurs continues to gather speculation.
Juventus sat waiting for phone to buzz on Randal Kolo Muani
Juventus want to sign Kolo Muani by ending his loan stay with the Lilywhites.
Spurs currently have the Frenchman on loan from PSG until the end of the season, but Frank seems to have done a U-turn regarding the attacker’s importance for his side recently.
Tottenham do not want to let Kolo Muani leave, and his goal against Frankfurt in the Champions League may have only cemented internal thoughts.
As highlighted by Sofascore, the French international padded a 6.6 rating against Frankfurt, which isn’t the best, but his goal made it the 27-year-old’s third of the season in the Champions League.

According to Corriere dello Sport’s print edition on Sunday, Juventus are on standby as the final call for Kolo Muani’s future approaches.
They are anxiously waiting for the phone to ring in Italy and are hoping for Tottenham to soften their stance.
The Lilywhites want to keep the forward, who has expressed his desire to rejoin his former side, which is why the Bianconeri are so frustrated with the situation.
Juventus know it’s not an easy deal to conclude with PSG also involved, as they feel the French giants were left upset in negotiations over the Italian side’s attempts to re-sign Kolo Muani in the summer.
The dilemma Tottenham face over Kolo Muani
It’s not been an amazing time to be a Spurs fan in recent times, and the transfer window has only added more stress.
If reports of Kolo Muani’s preference to return to Turin are true, then the Lilywhites are left in such a predicament with barely any time to cover themselves.
Tottenham now face the possibility of keeping a player at Hotspur Way who is unhappy, and that could have a knock-on effect for the squad.
Frank may want to keep him, but if Tottenham are forced to cut short his loan stay on N17, then who are they going to sign to replace Kolo Muani?
Yes, he hasn’t had loads of appearances in the Premier League, but Kolo Muani is a big reason as to why Tottenham are doing so well in the Champions League – just about the only positive of Spurs’ season so far.
