Randal Kolo Muani is hoping to prove his worth in the toughest league in Europe with Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham managed to end the transfer window with a bang after signing Randal Kolo Muani from PSG on deadline day. The France international joins the Lilywhites on a season-long loan, without an obligation to buy him permanently next summer. However, fans will hope that the 26-year-old does well at N17 so that the North London club can open talks with the Ligue 1 giants for a permanent sale.
In Kolo Muani, Spurs get a versatile player that can play anywhere in the frontline. The PSG loanee has been utilised primarily as a striker for his national team, as well as, all the clubs he has played for. But it is important to note that the 26-year-old can also thrive on the left-flank if given a chance. His ability to thrive in tight spaces and dribble past defenders makes him a perfect option to play in the wide areas.
No fan would care where he is being utilised the most at N17 as long as he performs well for the Lilywhites. The France international has already revealed that he wants to win trophies with the North London club and help Spurs achieve greater success following the Europa League win last season. So, fans will hope that he manages to prove his worth in the Premier League.
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has a plan in place for Randal Kolo Muani
The arrival of Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus, along with the presence of Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, and Brennan Johnson makes life tough for Thomas Frank to integrate Randal Kolo Muani into the starting eleven. Many are wondering how the France international will fit in at N17 under the Danish tactician as the season goes on.
Now, it looks like Thomas Frank has a plan in place for Kolo Muani that might give him the edge over other attackers. As per Graeme Bailey (via TBR Football),
“I am told that he arrived with Frank fairly open-minded. I think he likes the fact that Richarlison, Johnson, Kolo Muani, even Tel, can mix and match, so you could see Richarlison and Kolo Muani out wide, with Johnson centrally – for sure. I personally believe we see Kolo Muani playing multiple roles.”
Graeme Bailey has clearly indicated that Thomas Frank has an ‘open mind’ regarding Randal Kolo Muani’s integration into the squad. The journalist claims that the Danish tactician is liking the fact that he has got so several versatile attackers in the ranks, and every player could take up different positions during a game. As far as Kolo Muani is concerned, Bailey suggests that Thomas Frank is willing to operate the Frenchman in ‘multiple roles’ this season.
All eyes will be on Spurs’ upcoming game against West Ham in the Premier League. This will also be a chance for the fans to see Kolo Muani in action for the Lilywhites for the first time this season. With so many attackers to choose from, it remains to be seen how Thomas Frank manages to utilities the France international in the best way possible.
