FOUR Prem clubs are vying for the signature of French star Randal Kolo Muani.
Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City are exploring a deal for the fast Paris Saint-Germain frontman.
And Arsenal have joined the race, with winger Bukayo Saka facing more than two months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is in desperate need of options given his side's injury crisis.
And Kolo Muani's fast pace and ability to play anywhere along the frontline is appealing.
City boss Pep Guardiola wants to freshen things up given their dismal form and a loan deal would suit both parties.
PSG is keen that a compulsory purchase clause with Frenchman Kolo Muani is not part of boss Luis Enrique's plans.
Liverpool are considering the possibility of having Mo Salah out of contract next summer and being allowed to talk to foreign clubs in January.
Boss Arne Slot is a big fan of Kolo Muani, who has recently performed better for country than for club.
The 26-year-old was chased by Europe's biggest clubs after scoring 26 goals and providing 17 assists for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2022/2023 season.
He joined PSG for £80 million in September last year. But he has scored just four times in 14 appearances for the club this season and has made just two appearances in Ligue 1.
He was not part of PSG's squad for the recent matches with Monaco and Lyon.
Enrique said: “I could talk about it, but I won't.
“My decisions say it all, even though all my decisions can be changed.”
Kolo Muani scored in the penalty shootout as France were defeated by Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final.
He also denied goalkeeper Emi Martinez's 'save of the century'.
France boss Didier Deschamps continues to pick Kolo Muani despite his lack of playing time.
Aston Villa also had talks with PSG, who were interested in a swap for striker Jhon Duran.
But Villa is not interested in parting ways with the 21-year-old Colombian.
