Arsenal appear to be edging closer to a January swoop for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani as Mikel Arteta looks to reinforce his attacking options for the second half of the season.
Arsenal Closing in on PSG Forward Randal Kolo Muani Ahead of January Move
Sources suggest that talks have intensified in recent days, with both parties optimistic about a deal being struck that would see the French international swap Paris for North London.
The 26-year-old World Cup finalist has found opportunities limited under Luis Enrique this term, managing just two goals in 14 appearances for PSG, many of which have been from the bench.
With game time at a premium, Kolo Muani is said to be eager for a fresh challenge, and a move to the Premier League presents an enticing opportunity for both player and club.
For Arsenal, who are battling to keep pace with Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League title race, the need for another dynamic forward has become increasingly apparent.
Despite boasting an exciting attack with Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli, Arteta is keen to add further firepower to maintain his side’s momentum.
Kolo Muani’s versatility makes him a particularly attractive target for the Gunners. Able to play both as a central striker and out wide, his technical ability and blistering pace could prove invaluable as Arsenal navigate a crucial phase of their season.
PSG, for their part, appear willing to sanction a loan deal with an option to buy, just 18 months after securing the Frenchman’s services for a hefty £77m fee from Eintracht Frankfurt.
While Arsenal are unlikely to break the bank in January, they remain prepared to invest significantly if the right opportunity arises—and Kolo Muani’s situation appears to fit that profile perfectly.
His arrival would not only provide much-needed depth but also inject renewed energy into Arsenal’s title challenge.
With just weeks to go before the January window opens, Arsenal fans can dare to dream of another marquee signing to bolster their squad’s ambitions.
If all goes to plan, Randal Kolo Muani could soon be donning the iconic red and white shirt, ready to write his next chapter in the Premier League.
