Tottenham are exploring a deadline-day move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani.

It is believed that PSG are open to letting Kolo Muani leave in the final hours of the transfer window and Spurs have made an approach for the 26-year-old.

Reports suggest that PSG would be willing to sanction a loan move but want an obligation to buy included in the deal.

While Spurs are still looking at attacking targets, the club will not bring in players just to add numbers and there will not be a desperate spree to end the window.

Thomas Frank only wants signings that will raise the quality of the squad and that has made a centre-back addition difficult, with it tough to find a player close to the level of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero who is also happy to be a back-up.

Spurs' interest in Kolo Muani comes despite the club remaining hopeful that Dominic Solanke is not set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

The forward missed the defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday with an ankle issue that has been bothering him since the early stages of pre-season.

However, Thomas Frank said after the match that he hoped Solanke would be back soon after the international break and that remains the target.

Ademola Lookman is desperate to leave Atalanta

Ademola Lookman could be on the move on deadline day, though it remains to be seen whether Spurs decide to pursue that.

The club have been interested in Lookman this summer, and it is believed he wants to leave Atalanta. Bayern Munich have had a loan offer for the winger rejected.

It is looking increasingly likely that Manor Solomon will still be a Spurs player beyond the close of the window this evening.

Spurs have been open to offers for the 26-year-old this summer, whether that be a permanent sale or a loan, but nothing has materialised.

Solomon instead returned to the Spurs squad for the first time in two years on Saturday and could now be a part of Frank's plans going forward.

Spurs are still trying to move on Bryan Gil before the end of the window. However, while Girona want his contract to be terminated so they can sign the winger, Spurs have no plans to do so and will not allow the Spaniard to leave as a free agent.
