'I'm told': David Ornstein names the player Ange Postecoglou sees as his 'top target' for Tottenham this month

Yesterday at 02:55 AM

Tottenham Hotspur are very active in the ongoing transfer window.

Spurs have had a really poor first half of the season. They have lost more games than they have won in the Premier League and are currently 12th in the table.

Things need to change in the coming weeks and months, and Ange Postecoglou needs help. Antonin Kinsky has already been signed, but he won’t be the last one.

Tottenham remain active on the market, and they already have a ‘top target’ in mind.

David Ornstein shares what he has been told about Tottenham and Randal Kolo Muani

Randal Kolo Muani is a player to keep an eye on in this window.

The Frenchman is nowhere near the top of Luis Enrique’s pecking order at Paris Saint-Germain, and that is set to open the door for an exit.

TBR Football exclusively revealed in November that PSG are open to letting Kolo Muani leave the club during the winter window. Arsenal were scouting him back then.

TBR confirmed recently that Tottenham have made contact to sign Kolo Muani – talks have taken place with the player’s representatives.

Now, David Ornstein has had his say, and he has been told that Kolo Muani is actually Postecoglou and Tottenham’s ‘top target’ in this window.

He said on NBC Sports: “He’s a target for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Juventus, who would all like to sign him on loan until the end of the season.

“I think PSG would be open to letting him go on a temporary basis despite the fact that he is under contract until the summer of 2028 because he’s just not getting the game time and they want to rebuild the value having signed him just over a year ago for a deal worth €90 million.

“I’m told that Tottenham see him as their top target for a versatile attacker.

“Manchester United are looking at multiple options and Juventus are in the equation too. Those three clubs are being presented to me as being the leading contenders in this moment in time.”

Should Spurs sign Kolo Muani?

Kolo Muani hasn’t had a great time at PSG this season, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad player.

Tottenham only have Dominic Solanke up top and he has had a fine season. Richarlison’s fitness has made him unreliable, while Son Heung-min and Timo Werner have both had really poor campaigns.

A new attacker is a necessity, and we think Kolo Muani checks a lot of boxes.

The Frenchman can play anywhere in attack. He is quick, good in one-on-one situations and an argument can be made that he is more clinical than all of Spurs’ attackers have been this season.

To add to that, he will be available to sign on loan, which makes him a risk-free option unless PSG demand an obligation-to-buy clause included in the deal.

Daniel Levy is great at negotiating. We think he should do everything he can to sign Kolo Muani on a straight loan deal in the coming days.
