West Ham United want to sign Randal Kolo Muani as PSG make January exit decision
West Ham are keeping an eye on PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani ahead of the January transfer window, according to TBR Football.
The online source reported [8 November] that the Ligue 1 side are ready to allow the 25-year-old to leave on loan in January, also prompting interest from Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.
The Hammers are interested in bolstering their striker options with a short-term fix, especially given the injury setback to Niclas Fullkrug, and Kolo Muani is one of the names on the list.
West Ham United to already replace Niclas Fullkrug with Randal Kolo Muani?
Kolo Muani is certainly in a strange situation at PSG. With Kylian Mbappe leaving the Ligue 1 champions during the summer, the striker was brought in on a free transfer with a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
With 11 goals in his first 51 appearances, and also performing on the international stage with the France national team, it seems odd that PSG are ready to let him leave on loan.
However, the Hammers cannot afford to wonder the exact reason for that decision, with Julen Lopetegui surely desperate to bring another forward into the squad in January.
Fullkrug has made just four appearances since arriving at the London Stadium on a £27million deal in the summer [BBC Sport], while Michail Antonio and Danny Ings have not impressed in the final third.
Kolo Muani scored 26 goals in 50 appearances during his short time at Eintracht Frankfurt but his form has drastically dropped, and West Ham could be the side to help him rediscover his former self.
When Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, Crysencio Summerville and Lucas Paqueta are all at the top of their games, Kolo Muani would thrive in the striker position under Lopetegui.
