Randal Kolo Muani sends France to World Cup final
Kolo Muani made an instant impact for France tonight as they faced Morocco in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
France were already 1-0 up when Kolo Muani was introduced as a replacement for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
Kolo Muani almost immediately made it 2-0, tapping home from close range after Kylian Mbappe’s shot had been deflected.
That goal effectively killed the game off, ending the hopes of this incredible Morocco side.
Kolo Muani’s goal just took the game away and ensured that France would be meeting Argentina for the World Cup final on Sunday.
Liverpool and Tottenham want Randal Kolo Muani
Kolo Muani isn’t a household name just yet but he is well on his way.
The versatile attacker – who can play out wide or up front – joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Nantes on a free transfer over the summer.
Kolo Muani has already racked up eight goals and 11 assists in 25 appearances for Frankfurt.
That kind of output is always going to attract interest and Premier League clubs are already keen.
Foot Mercato reported last week that Liverpool and Tottenham both want to sign Kolo Muani – but Frankfurt could now demand up to €80million (£69million).
The two Premier League sides may feel a little silly that they didn’t Kolo Muani for free.
Liverpool were keen on signing for Muani for nothing according to Bild, as were Tottenham according to Foot Mercato.
Frankfurt will be rubbing their hands with glee after seeing Kolo Muani score at the World Cup, possibly bumping up his asking price again.
Born in Bondy just like Kylian Mbappe, Kolo Muani is proving that he can be a deadly attacker just like his more illustrious teammate.
