Tottenham Hotspur are viewed as frontrunners to sign a Premier League star along with their ongoing move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani.

Tottenham pushing to sign Kolo Muani

In a summer which has seen attacking stars Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons arrive in north London, Daniel Levy is looking for more in the final third before the window slams shut.

Thomas Frank’s side drew a blank before the international break against AFC Bournemouth, and Spurs are now pursuing Kolo Muani. Linked with Tottenham before, the France international now looks set to join a loan-to-buy deal.

However, it isn’t just Spurs who are in for the former Juventus loanee, with the likes of Bayern Munich and Aston Villa also on the hunt for attacking additions. Should Kolo Muani head to London as expected, he could be joined by a "perfect" player, with an update emerging on another Spurs target.

Spurs frontrunners for Akanji with Kolo Muani

According to reports on deadline day, relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham are seen as the frontrunners to sign Manuel Akanji from Manchester City.

The 30-year-old only wants to play for a side in the Champions League this season, ruling out a move to Europa League side AC Milan.

Akanji, who picks up £180,000-a-week (£9.3m-a-year), could remain with the Blues before the 7pm deadline, but Tottenham are also in the picture following links in recent days.

Capable of playing as a full-back or as a centre-back, Akanji has been hailed in the past by Pep Guardiola, with the Etihad boss calling him “perfect” at one point.

“With [assistant manager] Carlos Vicens on set pieces, he said: ‘you only have to tell [Akanji] once [and] he knows it’. The movement defensively and offensively, he executes it perfectly. This is a gift for the manager. Some players, you have to explain ten times or train ten times to show what you are thinking or what you want to do. This guy needed just one training session and he got it.

“The movement he has to do as a full-back, the high pressing, he didn’t train once, and he did it perfectly. With the ball he is a magnificent player. Our build-up should be three in the back and that’s why in the position we normally play Kyle [Walker] or John [Stones]. He was absolutely perfect. Proof again that intelligent people, always it pays off.”
