During a segment on the Transfer Insider podcast, journalist Pete O’Rourke suggested that Liverpool may be exploring the possibility of signing Tottenham Hotspur loanee Randal Kolo Muani. He remarked,
“This is an unexpected link; not many anticipated this development.

“Muani has faced challenges during his time at Tottenham, and it seems unlikely that his loan will lead to a permanent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
“With Ekitike sidelined for the long term, Liverpool might feel compelled to enter the market for cover. We’re uncertain about his return—it’s increasingly looking like it could be as late as 2027.
“They may be exploring more affordable options to bolster their attacking lineup. I would be surprised if they actively pursued Kolo Muani.”
Kolo Muani’s Underwhelming Loan at Tottenham
Kolo Muani has had a mixed season at Tottenham, struggling to maintain top form in the Premier League. Nevertheless, he has managed to contribute five goals and four assists across 37 appearances for the club this season.

His contract with Paris Saint-Germain runs until the summer of 2028, which may complicate Spurs’ efforts to secure him at a lower price later this year.

Should Liverpool’s Arne Slot Pursue Kolo Muani?
Kolo Muani possesses the ability to create space and take shots on goal, as well as to generate chances for his teammates. His dribbling skills are notably good.

However, he needs to enhance his efficiency in front of goal. Despite this, he has gained valuable experience in the Premier League this season, suggesting he could reach a higher level in the future.
Acquiring Kolo Muani would certainly enhance the attacking quality of Liverpool under manager Arne Slot. He is capable of competing for a regular starting position at the club in the coming seasons.
At 27 years old, Kolo Muani is on the cusp of his prime, making him an intriguing option for the Reds this off-season. Notably, he could serve as a suitable short-term alternative for Hugo Ekitike, who is currently sidelined with a long-term injury.
