Tottenham Hotspur will have to think about buying more than selling in the summer transfer window after coming 17th in the Premier League. for a second straight season and much closer to relegation with no European trophy to soften the blow of such an embarrassing domestic season this time around.
But Spurs will have to sell unwanted players who contributed to the team being so inept in the 2025/26 campaign in order to bring on true upgrades. No position group was more disappointing than the attackers last season, as only Richarlison, who himself will likely be on the chopping block due to his all around inconsistency, was a real goal scoring threat for the Lilywhites.
Signed on loan by Fabio Paratici from under the noses of Juventus, whom he was loaned out to from PSG during the 2024/25 season, striker Randal Kolo Muani proved to be the loan transfer flop of all loan transfer flops, making Timo Werner look like the second coming of Hernan Crespo and and Jermaine Defoe in front of goal by comparison.
Juventus still want their new old No. 9
Kolo Muani was lazy, ineffective, and genuinely horrendous throughout the season, beyond one hat trick against parent club PSG in the Champions League. The Frenchman, however, still has held consistent interest from Juventus, who even tried to run it back with the former Eintracht Frankfurt man during the winter transfer window.
Now, Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Juventus have made another new approach to sign Randal Kolo Muani from PSG this upcoming summer transfer window, knowing full well that they badly want the French striker while Tottenham Hotspur want nothing to do with a player whom fans view as a mercenary after such a dreadful season.
Juventus have made a lot of missteps with strikers more talented than Kolo Muani, such as Jonathan David and Lois Openda (not to mention former Spurs transfer target Dusan Vlahovic), but RKM was actually halfway decent for Juve (under Igor Tudor, no less) in the 2024/25 season.
Tottenham will say good riddance to Kolo Muani no matter what with him heading back to PSG after his loan deal ends, and Spurs fans will wonder if RKM will be as poor on the pitch and as seemingly unmotivated with a move back to Turin. But some players just do not fit the Premier League, and perhaps Kolo Muani, who was also poor in the physical French top flight for Paris, will be great again in the Italian division.
