Club target decides to move elsewhere | OneFootball

This window, we have seen Tottenham Hotspur linked to a number of different players, in a number of different positions. One of the, if not the most, high profile name to be linked has been Paris Saint Germain's versatile forward, Randal Kolo Muani - who has been outcast by manager Luis Enrique this season, and for a lot of their 18 months working together in the capital of France.

As a result, the 26-year old was available this month, with Spurs, Manchester United, and Juventus seemingly showing a keen interest in his services. It was reported earlier today that Tottenham had put in a loan bid, with an option to buy, rather than an obligation.

Randal Kolo Muani turns down a move to Tottenham Hotspur

However, he will not be moving to North London. It has been widely reported that the Frenchman had a choice to make himself, and he has subsequently decided to join Juventus on a dry loan instead. Not an absolute hammer blow, but quite a shame - and regardless of any thoughts on the player, a concern regarding the club's ability to be attractive to players.

It will certainly be interesting to see where Spurs go now. Do they go for a winger instead? Do they go for a striker instead? Will they try and bring in a versatile player to cover the whole front line, like Kolo Muani? You'd imagine the latter is what they would like to bring in, but those type of players do not grow on trees - certainly not ones of the requisite quality needed anyway.

There have not been too many links to those versatile types of forward, however. Donyell Malen was one of a few, but he has since joined Aston Villa. Some would say Marcus Rashford fits that description, but he can't really "play" up front, nor on the right, he has just sometimes been thrown there, and often not played very well. If he was to sign, it would be for the left wing.

Then, there has been links to out and out strikers, such as Jonathan David and Liam Delap. Due to his contract situation, David would cost a lot less than Delap, but would he come to N17 to be a squad player? Not so sure, especially given the amount of offers he will have on the table.
