Randal Kolo Muani is yet to make his debut for Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur fans got quite a good glimpse of how their team is going to look like in the coming weeks and months as Thomas Frank fielded his starting lineup for the game against West Ham United, which was the first game for Spurs after the closure of the last summer transfer market.
Several players who had made the move to the North London team featured in this game, including Joao Palhinha and Mohammed Kudus, while Xavi Simons also made his debut in this game, and marked this event by providing an assist.
However, another player whose arrival had generated a lot of promise in the fans, but who remained an unused substitute in this game, was the forward Randal Kolo Muani, who joined the Lilywhite club on loan right on the deadline day of the transfer market.
Fabrizio Romano reveals Spurs’ plans for the player
But despite this lack of play time in this game, the Frenchman is still expected to be an important player going forward, and enjoys Thomas Frank’s confidence. This was revealed by the journalist Fabrizio Romano in his newsletter on GiveMeSport.
When asked whether the player is important for the Tottenham coach, the Italian journalist responded in the affirmative, and also revealed why he did not feature against West Ham:
“Yes. They are just building his fitness as he has been out of the PSG squad for a long time.”
As things stand, Kolo Muani can make his debut when Tottenham face Villarreal in their opening UEFA Champions League clash today, on Tuesday. However, it remains to be seen whether he has regained his fitness levels to an extent that will convince Thomas Frank to play him, especially in a match of this importance.
Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Kolo Muani can be a real weapon in the Danish tactician’s arsenal going forward, as he would not only provide him with another option for the attack, but would also push the likes of Richarlison and Dominic Solanke to keep performing at their best to retain their positions in the Tottenham starting lineup.
