Tottenham Get Blunt Prediction Over PSG Loanee After Edging Newcastle, Aston Villa | OneFootball

Journalist Ben Jacobs previously reported that after talks with Juventus collapsed, PSG loaned Randal Kolo Muani to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2025-26 season.

The move allows the French forward to rediscover the form he showed in Italy, with a permanent transfer deemed too costly. Kolo Muani had drawn late interest from Aston Villa and Newcastle United, but Tottenham won the race to bring him in for the year.

Spurs have opened the Premier League campaign with two wins from their first three matches, though Thomas Frank’s side slipped to defeat against Bournemouth over the weekend.

Will it only be one season in London for PSG outcast?

On Tuesday, TEAMtalk’s Rob McCarthy ranked Tottenham’s transfer signings in 2025. He put Kolo Muani at No. 5, but that’s not the most important aspect of the story. It’s his take, noting that he only sees the French attacker being a one season player for Spurs and then returning to PSG.

“Tottenham’s big deadline day signing from PSG ticks plenty of boxes in terms of his pedigree and ability to play multiple forward positions for Frank,” McCarthy wrote. “However, there has to be some concern as to why neither Spurs or PSG decided not to insert an option or obligation to buy on the deal.

“The fact that he is likely to only be in north London for one season is why the talented France international is further down the list than he probably should be, despite the fact that Kolo Muani could still be a big hit in the Tottenham attack.

“He has the sort of pace and power that is missing from Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, and it will be interesting to see if Frank thrusts him straight into the No.9 role or plays him in the troublesome left-wing spot as he adjusts to the Premier League.”
