Report: Tottenham star keen to seal transfer back to his former club
Tottenham’s on-loan striker Randal Kolo Muani is reportedly keen on another spell with Juventus, where he previously played on loan.
The France international has struggled to perform consistently during his time at Spurs, in what has been a difficult season for everyone at the club as they face a genuine relegation battle in the closing stages of the campaign.

It’s not too surprising to see that Kolo Muani is already thinking about his future as he could go back to parent club Paris Saint-Germain and then move from there back to Juve.
That’s according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, which suggests Kolo Muani could return to Juventus in a swap deal involving Jonathan David.
Randal Kolo Muani to leave Tottenham and return to Juventus?
Kolo Muani did well in his previous spell at Juventus, and the report states that he still feels loved by the club’s fans.
The 27-year-old scored 10 goals in 22 games with the Turin club last season, but has managed just five goals in 33 appearances with Tottenham this term.
The Premier League is often regarded as the most competitive in the world, so it perhaps makes sense that Kolo Muani has struggled here and might fancy a return to Serie A.
One surprising aspect of this story, however, is that PSG supposedly want to swap him for David, who is another striker having a poor season.
The Canada international has managed just seven goals in 39 games since joining Juventus, though he was previously prolific in Ligue 1 with Lille.
Perhaps PSG feel David could revive his career with a move back to France, but one imagines they can also afford a higher calibre of player than that.
Spurs fans, meanwhile, will just have to hope their club can stay up so that a quality striker can be brought in to replace Kolo Muani.
