TBR Football understands that Randal Kolo Muani remains on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea.
Randal Kolo Muani has enjoyed a strong start to life in Italy, having become the first Serie A player this century to score five goals in his first three matches.
However, whilst things went well for Kolo Muani, Juventus struggled for form, and that saw Thiago Motta replaced as manager.
Motta was understood to be a major reason for Kolo Muani’s move to Turin, and now, it is not unclear whether he will look to continue with them this summer.
Randal Kolo Muani back on the radar of Arsenal and Chelsea
Several Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on Randal Kolo Muani’s progress – lines of communication between his representatives and interested parties are now open, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
Tottenham, who Kolo Munai rejected in January, remain huge fans of the French international and have been keeping tabs on his progress.
But Spurs are not alone, as TBR Football can confirm that Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Newcastle have all watched him at some point during his stay in Italy.
Mikel Arteta was offered Kolo Muani in January, but the North London club decided against the move. Now, the striker is back under consideration at the Emirates ahead of the summer.
PSG are looking to sell Kolo Muani, who joined for £77 million. Juve’s original loan deal did not include an option to buy, always meaning that the 26-year-old could assess his options.
Randal Kolo Muani’s form earns him French national team starting spot
Kolo Muani’s form for Juventus saw him earn his spot back in the French national team as he led the line for Didier Deschamps’ team in both Nations League matches.

The striker has eight goal contributions in 11 appearances for the Bianconeri since his move in January which is not a bad return.
Juventus looked set to sign Kolo Muani permanent, however, as mentioned that is no longer a certainty following Motta’s departure.
