This was the club record under Daniel Levy.<\/p>\n<p>However, he only won 16 in 76 appearances for the club, leaving him for just \u00a310 million two years later, losing \u00a316 million in his previous investment.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-spurs-can-expect-from-kolo-muani\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_can_expect_to_see_a_boost_in_Coro_Muani\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>What we can expect to see a boost in Coro Muani<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With multiple over \u00a350 million in additions scattered around the summer transfer window, Spurs made various loan deals and helped them improve their current team instantly.<\/p>\n<p>    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.<\/p>\n<p>However, on the deadline day, Frank&#8217;s side also lends a signature from PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani, despite the large rumours that linked him back to Juventus.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>He joined PSG in 2023 on a \u00a376 million deal, but defeated the pecking order after scoring only 11 times in two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>    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.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-former-spurs-player-who-rsquo-s-outscored-kolo-muani\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Former_Spurs_player_surpassed_Coro_Muani\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Former Spurs player surpassed Coro Muani<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the opposition to the centre has been a problem for the Spurs since Kane&#8217;s departure in 2023, with record-breaking signature Dominic Solanke having struggled with his fitness since his own move in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>    Lily White forked \u00a365 million for his signature, but he had only managed 16 goals for the club so far &#8211; injuries halted progress in North London.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>However, the former Spurs striker struggles to meet the expectations given them, given the club&#8217;s height.<\/p>\n<p>He joined the club in the summer of 2016 on a \u00a318.6 million contract from Az Alkmaar. Such a move has created excitement after the Dutch finished as the top scorer for Eredivisy the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>    During his first campaign in the UK, the striker only had six goals in the net &#8211; only two of them were in the Premier League, but they struggled to match the expectations he had finally arrived.<\/p>\n<p>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.
