Manchester United and Premier League side Tottenham are both exploring moves to sign a striker this month.
Both teams have struggled to deliver this season and their league position shows that.
Ruben Amorim’s Man United and Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham sit in the bottom half of the league table and both need quality and depth in their squads.
The January transfer window has come at the perfect time for both teams who are struggling massively to find consistency this season and this month offers them the opportunity to strengthen their squads.
Man United have proven that interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani this month but journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed that Tottenham have made direct contact to sign the player ahead of the Red Devils.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is in the driving seat to sign Kolo Muani from PSG and his connection with the French club could give the north Londoners the edge over Man United in signing the attacker.
Jacobs told him Last word on Spurs:
“If this (deal) is done, it will not be done through Lange and Campos. It will be done through Al-Khelaifi and Daniel Levy – they have the relationship.
“So if there is any business to be done, it will be a direct deal from Daniel Levy to the PSG chairman and that relationship between them, they are on very favorable terms.
“They worked together at ECA, have known each other for many years and held investment talks in January 2023. They have a strong and professional relationship.
“If there was a club outside the Premier League you would want Daniel Levy fighting in your corner, it would be the PSG negotiations because he is probably capable of the type of deal that Spurs would be looking to get.
“So I think Tottenham will be pushing hard to try and get Muani over the line.”
Man United and Tottenham are desperate to sign Randal Kolo Muani
Premier League teams need an attacking addition to the side. While Spurs have been unlucky with injuries this season, Man United have struggled to find consistency.
Even after the departure of former manager Erik ten Hag, Man United’s players have not been able to produce consistent results under Amorim.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Kolo Muani and which club could sign him, but as things stand, Tottenham look to be one of the clear favourites.
