Juventus have held talks to sign Tottenham Hotspur loanee Randal Kolo Muani, who has been struggling since his move from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Frenchman has failed to find the back of the net in the Premier League for Spurs and is not overly popular amongst supporters in North London.
Fill in the blank: Randal Kolo Muani’s loan move at Tottenham has been _/10 so far…
Kolo Muani has been deployed mostly as a left winger since his time under Thomas Frank, with his favoured role being as a number nine.
The 27-year-old really impressed on loan in Turin last season, and now the Old Lady could return for him in the final week of the window.
Juventus hold talks with Tottenham loanee Randal Kolo Muani
Juventus have made contact with Randal Kolo Muani’s camp in the last few hours to discuss a potential transfer, according to Alfredo Pedulla.
Fabrizio Romano has added that the move is expected to be complicated, given Juve’s frosty relationship with Paris Saint-Germain and Spurs’ desire to keep the player.
Last summer, Juve tried to re-sign the £78 million player, only for PSG to stand firm over letting him go.
On deadline day, the French club eventually allowed him to leave for North London on a straight loan, which will have frustrated Juventus.

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank is eager to avoid losing another attacker, having lost Mohammed Kudus to injury and Brennan Johnson signing for Crystal Palace.
If Tottenham were to secure a replacement for Kolo Muani, then they would likely be open to terminating the loan deal.
There is just one week remaining in the January transfer window, so the North London club would need to act quickly to make this move happen.
Tottenham simply cannot let Mathys Tel leave in January
The potential departure of Kolo Muani means that Tottenham simply cannot let Mathys Tel leave in January.
Tel has been linked with Paris FC on loan, with the French youth international open to leaving Spurs this month.
For the second time this season, Tel was removed from Tottenham’s Champions League squad, which left him very frustrated.
There is also the fact that Tel sees himself as a number nine, and is keen to play somewhere where he will be used up front.
