# Tottenham Hotspur signing Randal Kolo Muani will now be ‘difficult’

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) being able to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani will be ‘difficult’ in the January transfer window, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.**

### The Lowdown: Tottenham’s Muani interest

While there were increased eyes on Kolo Muani after his World Cup performances with France, RMC [report](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/mercato-apres-une-coupe-du-monde-reussie-kolo-muani-a-mis-l-europe-a-ses-pieds_AV-202301030359.html) that Tottenham were interested in the Frenchman even prior to the tournament commencing.

However, Frankfurt are in a strong position, given that the forward is contracted until [2027](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/profil/spieler/487969), and club director Markus Krosche has [made it clear](https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/eintracht-frankfurt-chief-krosche-warns-man-utd-off-kolo-muani-4442362) they do not want to sell.

### The Latest: Jones’ comments

Speaking to [GIVEMESPORT](https://www.givemesport.com/88102598-tottenham-now-seeking-alternatives-to-kolo-muani-star-at-hotspur-way), Jones said he’s ‘dug around’ and found out a deal this month is really difficult:

*“They* *are seeking solutions at the moment to give them new impetus in attack.*

*“If you dig around a little bit on this, it’s going to be difficult for them to pull off Kolo Muani in this window.”*

### The Verdict: Blow for Conte?

The 24-year-old has been [lauded](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/world-cup/2022/inside-europe-real-striker-kolo-muani-set-to-provide-france-different-threat-to-injured-christopher-_sto9228609/story.shtml) as ‘special’ by Eurosport’s Florian Bogner, and this is a description that is fully justified by his recent exploits, as he is enjoying a fantastic season with Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

In 14 Bundesliga appearances, the former Nantes man has weighed in with a solid [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/leistungsdaten/spieler/487969) goals, but his most impressive attribute has been his ability to get his teammates involved in the play, registering [ten](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/stats/players/assists) assists, three more than any other player in the league.

The fact that the playmaker is versatile enough to play [across](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/profil/spieler/487969) the front three would have also been very useful for [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/), given that any centre-forward brought in will have to play second fiddle to Harry Kane, and so it is a real blow that a move no longer seems possible.
