Tottenham have completed the singing of Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
Kolo Muani had been in talks over a move to Juventus following a successful loan spell with the Serie A club last season.
However, those negotiations broke down, leading Juve to switch their focus to RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda.
That has enabled Spurs to swoop in and add the France forward to their attacking ranks in a deal that does not include an option or obligation to make the deal permanent.
He becomes Tottenham’s fourth attacking acquisition of the transfer window, Spurs having already brought in Mathys Tel, Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons to swell their options going forward.
Kolo Muani scored eight goals in 16 Serie A appearances last season, helping the Bianconeri qualify for the Champions League. He then scored two goals at the Club World Cup before his loan spell came to an end.
He will hope to make a similar impact for Tottenham, who have begun the new Premier League season with six points from their opening three games, their unbeaten start ended by a 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth last Saturday.
“I’m really happy and very proud to be at such a great club,” Kolo Muani told the club website.
“I can’t wait to meet my team-mates, all the fans and to get out on the pitch.
“I know what the coach expects from me. I will fight hard for the shirt, the club and the fans. I will give everything for this team.”
Spurs boss Thomas Frank added: “Randal is a quality player who has proven himself over a number of years, playing for big teams in the Champions League and also with good experience for the France national team.
“He’s a good age, in the prime of his career, has good qualities that will suit both us and the Premier League, and gives us a different option in the final third being able to play out wide and through the middle.
“We are all excited for what Randal can add to the squad, and I’m looking forward to working with him.”
