Randal Kolo Muani makes Tottenham transfer decision as £39m bid comes to light

Randal Kolo Muani has rejected transfer interest from Tottenhamin favour of a summer return to Juventus, it has been claimed. The Paris Saint-Germain forward spent the second half of last season on loan at the Serie A side, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions.

After Son Heung-min confirmed he would be leaving Spurs on Saturday, Kolo Muani had emerged as a possible replacement having impressed for Juve. According to The Times, Thomas Frank's side were interested in the PSG man, who has three years left on his contract at the Parc des Princes.

However, Kolo Muani has now reportedly decided that his preference is a move back to Juventus. According to Tuttosport, the 26-year-old has turned down advances from Tottenham and Manchester United as he tries to complete a move to Juve before the end of the summer transfer window.

Kolo Muani has fallen down the pecking order at PSG and Juve have proposed a loan deal worth up to £13million with an option to buy the forward at £26m. Spurs and United are understood to have been mentioned to hurry a deal along at Juve, likely by his representatives.

A player that can be used anywhere across the front line, Kolo Muani would have added more strength and power to Tottenham's attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season. Son's departure has stressed the need for Spurs to dip into the forward market now.

"Before we start, I just want to share the information that I have decided to leave this club this summer," Son said as he announced his decision to quit Tottenham in a press conference. "Respectfully, this club is helping me to make my decision. I just want to share this before we start."

"It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career," he continued. "I have spent 10 years at Tottenham. The main reason is I have achieved everything I can at Tottenham. I need a new environment for a fresh challenge. I’m grateful the club have respected my decision and wish Spurs well for the next season."

Son started and captained Tottenham in a 1-1 pre-season draw against Newcastle United on Sunday. He is now expected to complete a £15m move to MLS side LAFC in due course.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have made just one marquee attacking signing in the form of Mohammed Kudus - a £55m recruit from West Ham - this summer, but more are anticipated to follow.

Tyler Dibling, Rodrygo and Ademola Lookman are among the wide players that have been linked with a move to north London, as Spurs attempt to strengthen in that position.
