Randal Kolo Muani appears to be on the verge of a winter move this month.
Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Juventus have all been linked with the PSG forward.
Since joining the Ligue 1 side for a €95m fee in 2023, Kolo Muani has failed to make the impact expected of a player commanding such a high price tag at Le Parc des Princes.
The 26-year-old has accumulated less than 400 minutes of playing time in 10 league appearances with Les Parisiens this season, scoring two goals.
Meanwhile, in his first campaign with the French giants, the attacker played about 1264 minutes in 26 league games and scored six goals.
Over one and a half seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, Kolo Muani has played an average of about half a game per match.
While we are not the ones watching him train day in and day out to compare with his teammates, it’s difficult to judge the player based on what he’s been able to show at Le Parc des Princes with such irregular game time.
Since his move back to Ligue 1 in 2023, Kolo Muani’s market value, according to Transfermarkt, has plummeted from its €80m peak at the end of his time with Eintracht Frankfurt to just €30m today.
Still, suppose the forward can secure a move to a new environment where he can receive more consistent playing time to showcase his abilities.
In that case, he may represent an excellent bargain for a team, given that his stock is probably at its lowest point since he made his move from Nantes to Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2022.
This tactical analysis piece and player-focused scout report aims to highlight the key strengths of Kolo Muani’s game and how they were better utilised by Oliver Glasner at Eintracht Frankfurt than Luis Enrique with PSG, particularly focusing on the player’s positioning and role.
Ultimately, we recommend that Kolo Muani’s next team utilise him centrally in a dynamic attack that allows for frequent positional interchanges, while giving him plenty of the ball to maximise his potential.
Randal Kolo Muani Data Analysis
To kick off our scout report, we will use data to analyse Kolo Muani’s performance in several key attacking metrics over recent seasons — the 2023/24 campaign with PSG, 2022/23 with Eintracht Frankfurt and 2021/22 with Nantes.
By far and away, Kolo Muani’s best career season so far is his 2022/23 campaign with Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga.
The 2022/23 season was a standout for the French forward in almost all of our chosen metrics, except for shots on target, goal conversion rate, and dribble success %.
