That it was long. This summer, Randal Kolo Muani had to be patient. However, everything seemed clear at the start. Loaned for six months to Juventus last January, the Frenchman, author of 8 goals and 2 assists in 16 appearances in all competitions; was ready to stay in the Piedmont. The old lady was of the same opinion. But it remained the hardest: get along with Paris Saint-Germain. Throughout the summer transfer window, or even before, the Italian press has published articles every day to evoke the advances of this very complex dossier. Thus, there was talk of a new paying loan of a season with a compulsory purchase option. Various amounts have been mentioned. But in the end, no formula found thanks to the eyes of the Ile -de -France.

An endless summer transfer window

Piedmontese people have definitely moved on to Jonathan David and LoĂŻs Openda to strengthen their attacking sector, where Dusan Vlahovic was finally. RKM returned to Paris where he took place in the luxury loft alongside other unwanted. Some doors have been ajar, including those leading to Manchester United and Newcastle. But they quickly closed, the Frenchman was not plan A. Finally, the 26 -year -old striker joined the Premier League on September 1 on the last day of the 2025 summer transfer market. Indeed, the Bondy native was recruited by Tottenham.

“We are delighted to announce the signature of Randal Kolo Muani for a loan from a season from Paris Saint-Germain, subject to obtaining the international certificate and the work permit. The 26 -year -old French international player will wear jersey number 39 »could we read on the press release from the London club. In the process, the Frenchy had delivered its first impressions. “I know what the coach expects from me. I will fight for the jersey, the club and the supporters. I will give everything for this team. ” Determined to give the best of himself and to help his new team, RKM, whose paid loan was set at € 5 million, had to regain the pace.

He is already on the side in Tottenham

Football revealed that the Spurs wanted him to resume with caution since he had not trained with the group of Luis Enrique and that he was away. On the bench against West Ham, he came into play 13 minutes against Villarreal in the Champions League on September 16. The English media had also indicated that he had not really had time to show what he has in his stomach. But everyone was waiting to see him at work longer. He should have been holder against Brighton last weekend. But he received a crutch in training and had to declare, the hematoma being still too big. At a press conference on Monday, before the match against Doncaster Rovers in League Cup, Thomas Frank gave his news.

  • He explained that the French suffer from a “Minor injury” And that he does not know for how long he will have it. However, this should not be too long. It is despite everything the longest absence of RKM. The specialized site Transfermarkt explains that he was only arrested two times due to injury. The first time was in 2023 when he played at Eintracht Frankfurt. He had missed 5 days of competition (1 match) between April and May. His second visit to the infirmary dates from 2024, when he was at PSG. He had contracted a viral infection and had missed 4 days of competition (1 missed match). This time, the Frenchy already totals 8 days of absence. Thomas Frank hopes to be able to count on him quickly as theEvent Standard.

RKM will have to win its place very quickly

“Kolo Muani has been recruited to add experience to the young team and ensure the replacement of Dominic Solanke absent due to a problem with ankle and Richarlison, which has not always been available in recent seasons.” Specialist in English football, Salim Bangally also told us about it. “When Kolo Muani arrives, we want to set up a kind of competition with Richarlison. It was the goal of having this competition to be able to boost and move the Brazilian a little. Richarlison is a player who knows how to take some blows. There are moments when he chains a few goals on a few matches and he makes impressive gestures and we say “Whaou”. But there are also times when he falls asleep. So Kolo Muani is there to push him a little and move him. Depending on its performance, it can also potentially take the place of Richarlison ”

He continues: “But in the mind, Kolo Muani did not come to be number 1. He came to boost Richarlison and remedy the breaches of the Brazilian. The thing is that Richarlison started the season very well. This is an important element. Mathys such, it goes pretty well for training for himself even if he plays less. On the attack line, between Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, that makes people. Kolo Muani can also help out on the left, but today it becomes a bit complicated for him. He is injured and will come back in a few days or weeks. But it is already starting to take shape little by little to Tottenham. I'm already starting to be “afraid” for Kolo Muani. He will have to quickly put himself to the level and to be able to prevent Richarlison from being the number 1 and preventing the left side from being fully taken. Otherwise, he will not play much. ” RKM will have to put the double bites on his return. Especially since he also has the French team and the World Cup in a corner of his head, he who is likely not to be called by Didier Deschamps in October. This was already the case last month.
