Spur’s flop, who was “Soldado of the Poor Man,” surpasses Muani after leaving.

In recent years, Tottenham Hotspur has been fortunate to have multiple top-level strikers in their books, and has since given fans many incredible memories.

Harry Kane undoubtedly tops that list, scoring 280 times for Lily White – solidifying himself as the best scorer in history, snatching the record from the late Jimmy Greaves.

However, the other players weren’t that impressive, and Roberto Celdodado struggled to produce goods during his own stint with the first team in North London.

The Spaniard joined the club in the summer of 2013, costing a whopping £26 million. This was the club record under Daniel Levy.

However, he only won 16 in 76 appearances for the club, leaving him for just £10 million two years later, losing £16 million in his previous investment.

This summer, current boss Thomas Frank moved to land at his own center, but the players definitely hope to have similar impacts to the former, not the former.

What we can expect to see a boost in Coro Muani

With multiple over £50 million in additions scattered around the summer transfer window, Spurs made various loan deals and helped them improve their current team instantly.

Joao Palhinha was added to the midfield division early in his transfer period and took part in the season loan with the option to buy from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

However, on the deadline day, Frank’s side also lends a signature from PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani, despite the large rumours that linked him back to Juventus.

The 26-year-old spent the second half of last season lending out in Serie A outfit, scoring 10 goals in just 22 appearances. He then got his career back on track.

He joined PSG in 2023 on a £76 million deal, but defeated the pecking order after scoring only 11 times in two seasons.

However, he has recently in a spell in Italy that shows that he can register 70 goals in a professional game in a normal five years, and can thrive in a normal few minutes.

Former Spurs player surpassed Coro Muani

As mentioned earlier, the opposition to the centre has been a problem for the Spurs since Kane’s departure in 2023, with record-breaking signature Dominic Solanke having struggled with his fitness since his own move in 2024.

Lily White forked £65 million for his signature, but he had only managed 16 goals for the club so far – injuries halted progress in North London.

The British have been limited to 31 minutes of Premier League action so far in 2025/26, opening the door for Koro Muani to assert the role of a normal start.

However, the former Spurs striker struggles to meet the expectations given them, given the club’s height.

He joined the club in the summer of 2016 on a £18.6 million contract from Az Alkmaar. Such a move has created excitement after the Dutch finished as the top scorer for Eredivisy the previous year.

During his first campaign in the UK, the striker only had six goals in the net – only two of them were in the Premier League, but they struggled to match the expectations he had finally arrived.

Janssen was then loaned to Fenerbafe on the Turkish side. Fenerbafe is a move that spells out the end of his stint in Lily White. He only appeared three times when he returned to the club.

This failure in the UK led former striker Gary Reinker to call the Dutch “Roberto Soldad, the poor man.”

However, in recent years, the 31-year-old has regained his best form from the UK – now robbing his trade with Royal Antwerp on the Belgian side, helping his current employer qualify for the Champions League.

He registered 13 goals in all competitions in 2024/25, then surpassing the new addition Colomuani (12) – highlighting his impressive form after a failed Premier League stint.

There cannot be denying that the hierarchy made the right call to ensure Jansen could leave the club.

But Koro Muani hopes not to emulate his disappointing spell in north London when he ran into the ground in a collision with West Ham United on Saturday night.
