Randal Kolo Muani equals unlikely Tottenham Champions League record

Add as preferred source on Google

Randal Kolo Muani has been quietly impressive in the Champions League for Tottenham Hotspur this season, despite a lack of Premier League goals.

On the whole, the Frenchman has failed to hit the expected heights during his loan spell at Tottenham, having found the back of the net just once in 22 Premier League outings.

Reports widely indicate that Spurs have no intention of purchasing Kolo Muani permanently from PSG in the summer.

However, the 26-year-old has quietly been delivering the goods in the Champions League, and he has now equalled a record for the Lilywhites.

Randal Kolo Muani has joint most goals in debut Champions League season for Tottenham

The France international opened the scoring on Wednesday against Atletico Madrid, getting on the end of Mathys Tel’s cross and burying an unchallenged header into the side netting.

That means that Kolo Muani has now scored four times in the Champions League this season to go with his two assists in nine appearances.

Squawka have now revealed that the striker has now equalled the tally of Peter Crouch and Gareth Bale, who held the record for the most goals in their first Champions League campaign with Spurs.

Can Spurs have a change of heart regarding Kolo Muani?

Tudor was a fan of Kolo Muani while working with the striker at Juventus, and it’s perhaps not a big surprise that he is playing a lot under the Croat.

The forward may still have a chance to convince Tottenham to buy him if he has a strong end to the season.

However, with Dominic Solanke and Richarlison both fit, Kolo Mauni may not start every one of the eight league games left, and reports indicate that the on-loan Tottenham man has already set his sights on returning to Juventus in the summer.
