According tojournalist Ben Jacobs, after talks with Juventus fell through, PSG has loaned Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2025-26 season.
The movegives the French forward a chance to regain the form heshowed in Italy,after a permanent transfer proved financially out of reach.
Kolo Muani had alsobeen linked with Aston Villa and Newcastle United in the final hours of the summer transfer window, but Tottenham ultimately secured him for the season.
Tottenham have started the Premier League campaignstrongly, winning two of their first three matches, though Thomas Frank’s side fell to Bournemouth this past weekend.

The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reports that Tottenham pulled back from what could have been one of the summer transfer window’s biggest deals while exploring an elite attacking signing.
Spurs ultimately moved to secure the France international forward after the Serie A club reportedly demanded a staggering £87 million for Rafael Leao.
“AC Milan quoted Tottenham Hotspur as much as €100m for Rafael Leao, as sources state that Spurs had cast around fora number of forwards in the final 36 hours of the window,” Delaney told The Independent’s Inside Football newsletter (h/tTEAMtalk)
“That was how they ended up with Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani on loan after protracted negotiations about an option to buy.”

On Tuesday,talkSPORT’s Jeff Stelling revealedwhat Premier League clubs won the summer transfer windowand at the No. 1 spot, he put Tottenham. However, he did have some reservations over the Kolo Muani loan deal.
“They brought in Randal Kolo Muani on loan from PSG,” Stelling said. “Now look, when I’ve seen him in the past, I’ll be brutally honest—mainly for the French national side—I haven’t always been impressed, but he’s certainly got a pedigree. PSG on loan at Juventus—they brought him in as well. I just think, numerically, maybe down on some other clubs, but I think they brought in quality.”
