Tottenham have been urged to pursue Paris Saint-Germain duo Randal Kolo Muani and Milan Škriniar on loan during the January transfer window to address their ongoing injury challenges and reinforce the squad for the second half of the season.
The Lilywhites are dealing with significant squad setbacks and are actively exploring opportunities to strengthen key positions. Bringing in players of Kolo Muani and Škriniar’s calibre could offer much-needed quality and depth.
John Wenham, a prominent Spurs correspondent, has emphasized that both players, despite limited roles at PSG, could make a substantial difference at Tottenham.
He believes that their talent and experience could provide the boost Spurs need to recover their momentum in an injury-hit campaign.
Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham said:
“If they are both available, those are the kind of players we should be targeting.
“They might not be getting into the PSG team, but that is because they have so many superstars battling for positions at that club. These two players could potentially be the difference in us getting over the line in the Carabao Cup or Europa League.
“It was only 18 months ago that Kolo Munai was scoring an incredible amount of goals in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt. PSG paid a substantial amount of money for him, and if he is available on loan, Tottenham should absolutely be putting themselves forward.
“As for Škriniar, he is a hugely experienced player who would also improve us. I’m not interested in Spurs insisting that the wages are too much. If these two players have been made available, there is a deal to be done there. PSG obviously want them out the door and I’m sure they would be willing to subsidise the wages.”
Kolo Muani, known for his goal-scoring prowess at Eintracht Frankfurt, made a high-profile move to PSG for €95 million last year. However, the 26-year-old forward has found opportunities limited in Paris, managing just 14 appearances this season, totalling 453 minutes, as he competes with PSG’s star-studded attack. His proven record in front of goal makes him a compelling option to strengthen Spurs’ offensive lineup.
Meanwhile, Škriniar joined PSG on a free transfer from Inter Milan last summer but has similarly struggled for playing time. The 29-year-old defender has featured in only five matches this season, with Marquinhos and Willian Pacho cemented as PSG’s primary centre-back pairing. The Slovaks’ vast experience and defensive reliability would provide the Lilywhites with critical reinforcement at the back during a challenging period. (Transfermarkt)
Securing loan deals for Kolo Muani and Škriniar would not only help Tottenham address their immediate squad needs but also offer both players the chance to gain regular playing time in a competitive environment.
If successful, these moves could be transformative for Ange Postecoglou’s side as they look to stabilize their campaign and compete effectively across all fronts, including domestic and European competitions.
