Tottenham 'at Front of Queue' in Race for 'Explosive' £77m Star Amid Son Exit

Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be keeping 'very close tabs' on Paris Saint-Germain star Randal Kolo Muani, according to reports - with Thomas Frank keen on bolstering his front line amid news of an imminent departure to Los Angeles FC for club legend Son Heung-min.

Spurs landed Dominic Solanke last summer from Bournemouth as the eventual replacement for Harry Kane, with Spurs having failed to sign anyone to come into their ranks upon his Bayern Munich. But whilst Solanke didn't flop, they have now looked to Kolo Muani. He cost PSG an incredible £77million from Eintracht Frankfurt, moving in the summer of 2023 - though he has only scored 11 goals in 54 outings for the Parisian side in that time.

Report: Tottenham 'Keeping Tabs' on Kolo Muani, at the 'Front of the Queue'

The north London club are keen to continue signing players

The report by TBR Football claims that Tottenham are keeping 'very close tabs' on a move for Kolo Muani, given the expected departure of Son - having failed to land the France international in the January transfer window before his loan move to Serie A giants, Juventus.

The PSG star could still find his way back to the Old Lady, with Igor Tudor wanting to make a deal permanent for his services in the coming weeks of the transfer window, but talks with the Ligue 1 champions have not progressed well up until this stage, despite the 'explosive' attacker giving them his priority as he aims to leave the Parc des Princes.

With that in mind, Tottenham are waiting in the background as they eye a potential deal for the 26-year-old striker if he doesn't end up moving back to the Allianz Stadium on a permanent deal.

The Lilywhites are seen as being at the 'front of the queue' to sign Kolo Muani in case his move fails, but they don't wish to ruin their strong relationship with Juventus, which has seen the likes of Fabio Paratici, Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur swap Turin for north London in recent seasons.
