Randal Kolo Muani arrived at Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day, as the North London club added another attacker to Thomas Frank\u2019s forward line.<\/p>\n

The Lilywhites signed five new players over the summer, with Xavi Simons<\/a>, Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha,\u00a0and Kota Takai joining the Frenchman through the door.<\/p>\n

Tottenham signed Kolo Muani on a straight loan<\/a> deal from Paris Saint-Germain after his move to Juventus fell through.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank\u2019s<\/a> team were allowed to capitalise on Kolo Muani coming back on to the market, having initially failed to land him back in January.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are hopeful that Randal Kolo Muani<\/a> will continue to develop during his time in North London, with the sense that patience will be required, Raphael Honigstein claims.<\/p>\n

But should Frank and his staff help nurture the Frenchman in the right way, the striker has been tipped to play a key role for Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Asked whether a successful spell at Tottenham could help him to kick on, Honigstein\u00a0told An Echo of Glory Podcast: \u201cYeah, I think that\u2019s certainly the thinking on his behalf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Spurs are banking on him to develop. I think it is going to be new for him. We\u2019ve seen a lot of the forwards coming into the league this season; there is a bedding-in process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a bit of patience is in order, but if Spurs look after him well and develop him, I expect him to play a very big role in what looks a very exciting team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dominic Solanke\u2019s recent ankle injury<\/a> forced the Lilywhites to spring into action in their search for a new number nine. The 26-year-old will now compete with Solanke and Richarlison for a starting spot. <\/p>\n

Randal Kolo Muani could make his Tottenham debut vs West Ham<\/p>\n

Kolo Muani\u2019s Tottenham debut could well come against West Ham United after the international break, with Solanke sidelined.<\/p>\n

Richarlison struggled against Bournemouth<\/a>, meaning that Frank could now look to the 2022 World Cup finalist to lead the line for his team.<\/p>\n

Simons could also join him in making his first appearance for the Lilywhites in what will be a new-look attack for Tottenham.<\/p>\n

The other fascinating storyline will be Kudus returning to his former home at the London Stadium, where he could face a frosty reception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Randal Kolo Muani arrived at Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day, as the North London club added another…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,9004,596,89197,85,10988],"class_list":["post-127578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-english-premier-league","tag-football","tag-randal-kolo-muani","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-hotspur"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
