Tottenham fans finally have their newest forward through the door, as Randal Kolo Muani has completed his move from Paris Saint-Germain and delivered his first words as a Spurs player.

The British summer transfer window has officially slammed shut, and for Tottenham Hotspur, it has been a busy summer of transfer activity.

Six summer signings have been secured as Thomas Frank’s side look to compete on multiple fronts this season, including in the UEFA Champions League.

On deadline day, Tottenham were very much involved in the act, completing the signing of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain on a season-long loan, after losing out on the forward during the winter window.

The Frenchman, who scored eight goals in Serie A last season for Juventus, has now taken the number 39 shirt, having completed his switch from PSG to Spurs.

Speaking publicly for the first time as a Tottenham player, Kolo Muani told the club’s official site: “I am really happy and very proud to be at such a great club. I cannot wait to meet my team-mates, all the fans and to get out on the pitch.

“I know what the coach expects from me. I will fight hard for the shirt, the Club and the fans. I will give everything for this team.”

While Tottenham were linked with other names, including Ademola Lookman, the Lilywhites eventually settled on completing just one major arrival on deadline day, while also sanctioning a couple of departures.

Manor Solomon could be heading out on loan to Crystal Palace, while Bryan Gil sealed a move to La Liga side Girona.

Speaking about Randal Kolo Muani’s arrival at Tottenham, Thomas Frank added: “Randal is a quality player who has proven himself over a number of years, playing for big teams in the Champions League and also with good experience for the France national team.

“He is a good age, in the prime of his career, has good qualities that will suit both us and the Premier League, and gives us a different option in the final third being able to play out wide and through the middle.

“We are all excited for what Randal can add to the squad, and I am looking forward to working with him.”
