Ben Jacobs Clarifies Chelsea’s Position on £50M-Rated Arsenal, Tottenham Target as PSG Exit Approaches

As the January transfer window nears, Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is uncertain. The French forward has struggled to make an impact this season, raising questions about his role under Luis Enrique.

With just 453 minutes of playing time across all competitions, Kolo Muani has yet to establish himself as a regular starter. His situation worsened when he was left out of PSG’s squad for their final three matches of 2024.

This lack of playing time has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs. According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea are closely monitoring the 26-year-old due to his ability to play across the front line. Arsenal are also reportedly keeping tabs on him, with the forward named as one to watch for Mikel Arteta’s side in January.

Tottenham have entered the race as well, with manager Ange Postecoglou looking to add reinforcements to his injury-ravaged squad. Kolo Muani is among the options being considered as Spurs aim to strengthen their attack midseason.
