Thomas Frank has confirmed that Randal Kolo Muani could make his Tottenham debut against Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday. The forward joined the club on loan from Juventus on deadline day and is currently awaiting his debut. Now, Frank has confirmed that the France international is fit, although he has questioned his ability to play with intensity.
Kolo Muani debut incoming?
Spurs signed the France international on deadline day, with the forward on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The attacker scored 11 goals in 54 games for the Ligue 1 club, and will now be aiming to hit the back of the net with regularity in north London.

Spurs are preparing for a return to European football's top table after winning the Europa League last season. However, Dominic Solanke has failed to train before the game, meaning Richarlison is the only other centre-forward option, given Mathys Tel has not been registered in the squad for Europe.
Can Kolo Muani cope?
Kolo Muani's fitness has somewhat been questioned by Frank, who told reporters:"If we needed him to play, he could play 90 minutes, but can he play at the intensity and the level that we want? But he's ready and he'll be involved tomorrow, so that's the most important thing."
