Serie A sacking could spark Tottenham swoop for £77m bagsman at reduced price
Ange Postecoglou may have had hopes of adding a forward to his Spurs squad boosted by a Serie A sacking.
Tottenham Hotspur could reignite interest in Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani with the sacking of Thiago Motta by Juventus set to play a role in the transfer race.
Spurs and Aston Villa had been linked with the star in January, but the 26-year-old ended up heading on loan to the Italian side from PSG. Since then, Muani has bagged five goals and picked up two assists in 11 appearances as he makes a strong start to life in the Serie A.
However, there has been controversy in Turin with Motta sacked by the club in March. The 42-year-old lasted just nine months at Juventus with back to back thrashings at the hands of Fiorentina and Atalanta the final blow for the manager, who was immediately replaced by Croatian Igor Tudor.

All of Muani’s goals for Juventus came in his first three appearances, one against Napoli and two braces against FC Empoli and Como. The striker has not scored since Motta left the club.
Speaking about Muani in February, Motta said: “Kolo Muani is doing well and scoring goals. He can do better. He’s just arrived and needs to keep his feet on the ground. Goals are part of the game. I like seeing him like this, with a smile. He’s integrated very well and is helping like everyone else.”
