Arsenal and Newcastle leading the way for Randal Kolo Muani
The player in question is Randal Kolo Muani, who꧟ Arsenal were heavily li💟nked with just a few months ago.
Mikel Arteta was offered Kolo Muani in January, 🐎but the North🐓 London club decided against the move.
However, Kolo Muani is back in Arsenal’s sights, as confirmed by TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
And now, have🌃 reported that Arsenal are ‘leading the way’ for Kolo Muani along with Newcastle United.
Juventus are said to be unsure about signing Kolo Muani permanently, because they’d have to pay parent club Paris Saint-Germain 🐓a h🐎efty fee.
PSG wantඣ to recoup as much as they can of the £77million fee they paid Eintracht Fran♏kfurt for his services in 2023.
What Randal Kolo Muani could bring to Arsenal
Arsenal need♌ a focal point in attack, an out-and-out centre-forward whose sole job is to get goals, and Kolo Muani would tick these boxes.
The official compared Kolo Muani to France 🍒legend Thierry Hen👍ry in 2023.
‘Much like Kolo Muani, legendary F🦩💯rance striker Henry started his career by impressing with his pace and trickery out wide before being repurposed as a centre-forward,’ they wrote.
‘Both players also clock in around t𝔍he 6ft 2in mark and cut very similar, r൲angy figures.
‘Kolo Muani a𝔍lso has a languid dribbling style and immense turn of speed that were hallmarks of He𒁏nry’s game – especially at a young age.
‘He bears similar strength on the ball and a cheekinessꦆ to his play that will leave Bundesliga defenders both in his wake and cutting frustrated figures.’
Meanwhile, France teammate Matteo Guendouzi said in November last year, as per : “Randal, he h🀅as the qualities. A confident Randal is one of the best strikers in Europe.”
Kylian Mbappe was asked about Kolo Muani in wake of France’s 4-0 win over the Netherlands in March 2023, and he to๊o sung his praises.
“He is a st🌄riker who offeꦍrs different game options to our team,” the Real Madrid striker said. “He is very complete and has an impressive volume of play.”
