Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Randal Kolo Muani on a season loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 26-year-old France international will wear the number 39 shirt.
Muani said: “I’m really happy and very proud to be at such a great club. I can’t wait to meet my team-mates, all the fans and to get out on the pitch.”
Head Coach, Thomas Frank, said: “Randal is a quality player who has proven himself over a number of years, playing for big teams in the Champions League and also with good experience for the France national team.”
A versatile attacker who can operate across the forward line, Muani’s professional journey began at French side Nantes, where he progressed through the ranks before making his professional debut in November, 2018.
Spending three seasons in the Ligue 1 side’s first team, he quickly grew into a key player for Les Canaris, scoring 23 goals for them while, in his final season, he helped them to the Coupe de France – Nantes’ first major honour in over 20 years.
His fine displays in France earned him a move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in July 2022, and the forward was simply sensational in Germany, registering 43 goal involvements in just 50 appearances for Die Adler, while he helped them to the 2023 German Cup Final.
Muani enjoyed further success when he returned to his homeland and joined Paris Saint-Germain the following summer, helping the French giants to two Ligue 1 titles, the Coupe de France and the Trophée des Champions.
Scoring goals wherever he has been, his impressive return rate in front of goal continued in a loan spell at Juventus earlier this year, where he scored eight times in just 16 Serie A appearances.
On the international front, Muani earned his first senior call-up to the France national team in September, 2022, and has since earned 31 caps, scoring on nine occasions. Named in Les Bleus’ 2022 FIFA World Cup squad, the forward played his part in his nation reaching the final for a second successive tournament, scoring in the semi-final victory over Morocco, before he helped his country to the final four of UEFA Euro 2024, where he also scored in the semi-finals.
