Despite widespread speculation and reported frustration within the Tottenham hierarchy, Ange Postecoglou has shed light on the club’s stance regarding their unsuccessful attempt to sign Randal Kolo Muani.
Tottenham’s race for Randal Kolo Muani
Over recent weeks, speculation surrounding Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani’s future had dominated transfer headlines as PSG were looking to sell the forward.
Amongst the list of interested suitors was Tottenham Hotspur, a club looking to bolster its squad under the stewardship of Ange Postecoglou.
Reports had suggested that Tottenham opened dialogue with Kolo Muani’s representatives, however, the story took a different turn when Kolo Muani chose Juventus as his next destination.
