Arsenal have reportedly intensified their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani ahead of the January transfer window, according to TBR Football. The Gunners are joined by Manchester United in expressing interest, with Mikel Arteta keen to bolster his attacking options in early 2025.
The 26-year-old World Cup winner, described as “exceptional,” was offered to Premier League clubs in October, and discussions have gained momentum in recent days.
Kolo Muani has struggled for consistent playing time under Luis Enrique, starting just two matches across all competitions this season. PSG are reportedly open to a loan deal with an option to buy, providing an opportunity for the French forward to reignite his career elsewhere.
Having signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for £77 million only 18 months ago, Kolo Muani could now be heading to the Premier League, a move that is said to appeal to the player. Arsenal’s interest aligns with their ambition to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season, with Kolo Muani’s arrival potentially adding significant firepower to Arteta’s frontline.
Arsenal are gearing up for a potentially active January transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad and reignite their Premier League title challenge. After a frustrating draw at home against Everton on Saturday, the Gunners remain third in the table, trailing leaders Liverpool by six points, with the Reds having a game in hand.
Sources from GIVEMESPORT suggest that Arsenal are exploring options to bolster their attacking lineup in early 2025. While the club is cautious about overspending, they are open to investing significantly if the right opportunity presents itself.
In addition to targeting forwards, Arsenal may also keep an eye on midfield reinforcements, particularly with Thomas Partey’s contract situation unresolved. However, having signed Mikel Merino in the summer, midfield is not currently a top priority for Mikel Arteta’s side.
As the January window approaches, Arsenal’s activity will likely reflect their ambition to close the gap on Liverpool and sustain a competitive push for the title.
