Spurs’ view on securing Randal Kolo Muani long-term becomes clear following his two goals versus PSG.
Tottenham supporters have finally witnessed Randal Kolo Muani come alive in a Spurs shirt, and with his loan ending this season, discussions about a long-term deal are already gaining momentum behind the scenes.
Kolo Muani truly announced himself to the fanbase with two goals and an assist in Spurs’ 5–3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
The forward took a while to settle in north London, going his first nine matches without scoring—though he did provide an assist during that stretch.
Thomas Frank will now be hoping that his recent display is the beginning of a more consistent scoring run. Kolo Muani, meanwhile, will be determined to establish himself as Spurs’ leading striker and challenge Dominic Solanke once he returns to fitness.
Tottenham’s view on making the Kolo Muani deal permanent
Spurs only secured Kolo Muani on deadline day on a season-long loan, and they must soon decide whether to push for a permanent transfer or send him back to Paris Saint-Germain.
TEAMtalk journalist Dean Jones says Tottenham are open to signing the Frenchman permanently next summer, though the lack of a purchase option means fresh negotiations with PSG would be required.
Jones stressed that the club has always believed in Kolo Muani’s potential and are now beginning to see the player they hoped for.
“Tottenham were delighted to bring in Kolo Muani, and now we’re starting to see his real qualities,” Jones told TEAMtalk.
“They always felt that once he regained his sharpness, he could become one of the top finishers in the league—and his goals in Paris showed exactly that. They believe there’s much more to come, and there’s a genuine possibility this could become a longer-term signing.
“He wants a place where he can thrive and feel settled, and Spurs need a reliable goalscorer. This loan suited all parties, but Spurs definitely have one eye on making it permanent if everything continues to go well.
“If he stays fit and firing, Tottenham won’t need to buy a striker in January and can switch their focus back to adding a wide forward, as originally planned. With Solanke and Kolo Muani as their main striking options, the squad could be well balanced—provided both are available regularly. If Kolo Muani succeeds, it benefits Spurs not just this season but possibly in the long term.”
The obstacles Spurs face in trying to buy Kolo Muani
Tottenham’s willingness to bring Kolo Muani in reflects their belief in his profile and his ability to excel in the Premier League. However, securing him permanently will not be simple.
His loan includes no option to buy, giving PSG a strong negotiating position. With his contract running until 2028, the French champions will be able to demand a substantial fee.
Spurs may also face competition from other clubs if the 26-year-old settles in England and becomes available next summer.
