Randal Kolo Muani destined to relegate Tottenham Hotspur, Roberto De Zerbi must drop attacker
Randal Kolo Muani put in another terrible display as Tottenham Hotspur fell to a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday.
Spurs were unable to claim the point that would essentially ensure survival at Stamford Bridge.
As a result, the club remain 17th in the Premier League table, two points clear of West Ham United going into the final day.
On Sunday, Tottenham will face Everton at home, as they look to secure the point that should guarantee their Premier League status for the 2026-27 campaign.
However, if Roberto De Zerbi wants to get a result, he must drop Kolo Muani, who was simply dreadful in Tottenham’s defeat to Chelsea.

If this type of performance were repeated on Sunday, it would almost put Everton in a prime position to secure a victory, which could relegate Spurs if West Ham were to win.
As a result, De Zerbi must simply drop the attacker before his performances send the North London club into the English second tier.
Will Tottenham keep Kolo Muani?
Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Kolo Muani will not stay at Tottenham beyond the 2025-26 campaign.
The attacker will most likely end up at Juventus, with Spurs refusing to sign him permanently at the end of the season.
While Tottenham’s transfer strategy is being dictated by whether they can survive the drop or not, Kolo Muani will not be a part of the squad going forward, no matter what happens on Sunday
However, it remains to be if the winger will be given any more minutes in a Spurs shirt in their impending clash against Everton on the final match of the season.
