Leeds United Claim Could Force Newcastle to Step Up Pursuit of Tottenham Target Amid PSG Doubt | OneFootball

The future of Randal Kolo Muani isn’t at PSG with reports linking him to Tottenham and Newcastle United. Moreover, as Leeds United make a move for a player who will be leaving the Magpies, the Frenchman could become a more serious target.

Kolo Muani has made a quick impression since joining Juventus on loan from PSG, notching nine goal contributions in 18 appearances since his arrival in Italy.

The French forward struggled for consistent playing time under Luis Enrique this season, starting only twice in all competitions. His future could also depend on how things unfold at Juventus, especially following Thiago Motta’s departure and Igor Tudor’s appointment.

Even with the coaching change, Kolo Muani hasn’t fully nailed down a starting role. Still, he’s seen more time on the pitch recently and has found the net twice in his last three outings.

Former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown tips Leeds United to make a move for Callum Wilson. As a result, it could open the door for the Magpies to pursue Kolo Muano to replace him.

“Leeds are considering a move to sign Callum Wilson,” Brown told Football Insider. “Callum Wilson is a very decent player, especially at his best. He’s a big strong unit, not afraid to battle with defenders, and always puts a shift in. How much of that he can do and how often he can do it given his injury situation is always going to be a concern, but Leeds will have looked into it.

“Given the fact he’s available on a free, he would be a good asset for a team like Leeds. He’s very experienced in the Premier League and has scored goals at the top level for Newcastle and for England, which is always a valuable asset to have. So they will make a decision about whether they think he’s still capable and then make a move.”

Last month, GIVEMESPORT reported that Tottenham Hotspur are preparing another bid for the French forward if Juventus decide not to make his loan permanent this summer.

According to the same report, Tottenham remain keen to strengthen their attack—regardless of whether Ange Postecoglou continues as manager.

Kolo Muani’s future is still up in the air, but interest in him isn’t lacking. A recent report from TuttoJuve claims that Arsenal and Newcastle United are currently leading the race for the 26-year-old. Whether it’s a loan or permanent move, his next step could be among the summer’s most intriguing transfer storylines.
