On Monday, Spurs spoke with PSG about Kolo Muani. However, their efforts fell short, with Juve eventually beating both the North Londoners and Man United in their pursuit of the former Eintracht Frankfurt star.
Attention now turns to who is the technical director Johan Langechairman Daniel Levy and the club’s recruitment team could identify him as an alternative to the versatile striker, and there are several credible options.
RMC Sport’s Hawkins reports that Tottenham could be promoted because of Brentford star Bryan Mbeum before the deadline, even if Thomas Frank tried to pour cold water on the possibility of his departure this winter.
