French media are reporting that Randal Kolo Muani has had an interesting discussion with Thomas Frank, and have revealed what the striker is thinking about his Tottenham role following those talks.
The 26-year-old has made just one substitute appearance since his move to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day and is still waiting for his Premier League debut.
Kolo Muani remains sidelined due to a dead leg, with the injury taking longer to heal than many at Tottenham first thought.
Some reports have indicated that Thomas Frank wants to use Kolo Muani on the left wing this season, and it has now emerged that the forward has spoken to the Tottenham head coach about his role.
Thomas Frank has reassured Randal Kolo Muani about his Tottenham role
According to a report in L’Equipe, the France international has now had a fresh conversation with the Danish coach and has been left reassured by his plans for him.
The outlet explains that Kolo Muani is now training alone due to his injury, which has a silver lining for the striker as he is now getting some fitness work done after joining Tottenham with no pre-season under his belt.
The on-loan PSG man has had a detailed conversation with Frank, which he did not get the chance to do before signing for Spurs on deadline day.
The former Brentford boss has assured the forward that his plan is for him to compete with Richarlison for the number nine role, although he may also be used as a winger on the right at times.
Muani was left convinced by the chat and is now determined to prove his worth at Tottenham.
Details of Kolo Muani’s frustrating injury
L’Equipe explains that the Frenchman’s injury is proving to be more problematic than initially imagined. Kolo Muani is still feeling some pain in his thigh and is thus unlikely to make the trip to Elland Road this Saturday.
The striker picked up the injury due to an accidental clash in training with Pape Sarr two weeks ago, and it was initially thought that he would not even miss a single game.
In fact, the forward was included in the matchday squad the very next day, but he felt discomfort while ‘accelerating and lengthening his stride’.
The Spurs medical staff then ‘performed a puncture of the hematoma’ before sending the striker for imaging tests, which confirmed that there was no serious problem.
The striker has currently been put in a modified training program and hopes to return as soon as possible.
