PL club join Manchester United and Arsenal in race to sign forward from UCL club - Reports

West Ham United have reportedly joined Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani. The 2022 FIFA World Cup runner-up has been with the Parisians since last summer.

In 51 games across competitions, the 25-year-old has registered 11 goals and six assists, a far cry from his numbers at his previous club Eintracht Frankfurt: 26 goals and 17 assists in 50 outings across competitions.

Kolo Muani is contracted to the Parisians till 2028, but TBR Football (as per PSG Talk) has reported interest in the Frenchman from multiple Premier League clubs. They include Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.

With the striker scoring just twice in 11 outings across competitions this season, the Parisians could sanction a loan move for him when the transfer window reopens in January.

Meanwhile, the likes of West Ham, United, City and Arsenal are looking for temporary reinforcements to their attacking arsenals, and Kolo Muani could be a decent option. Among the quartet, City (23) are second in the Premier League, followed by the Gunners (18) in fifth, United (12) 13th and West Ham (11) 14th.

What's next for Arsenal and Manchester United?

Arsenal have hit a bit of a trough in recent weeks. Following a 1-0 Premier League loss at Newcastle United last weekend, the Gunners went down by the same scoreline at Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

A first-half stoppage time penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu sunk Mikel Arteta's side, who find themselves in 12th place in the standings after four matchdays, having won two of their four games.

They will seek a return to winning ways when they travel to Chelsea on Sunday (November 10) in the Premier League, where they trail their fourth-placed London rivals on goal difference after 10 games.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have had their worst start to a Premier League season, occupying 13th place in the standings with 12 points from 10 outings. That led to boss Erik ten Hag's sacking, with interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy steadying the ship with three unbeaten games across competitions, winning two.

Following a 2-0 home win over Greek side PAOK Salonika in midweek in the UEFA Europa Conference League, the Red Devils take on Leicester City at home in the Premier League on Sunday. Their last outing in the competition was a 1-1 home draw with Chelsea last weekend.
