“Kolo Muani has a languid dribbling style and immense turn of speed that were hallmarks of Henry's game – especially at a young age,” the Bundesliga's official website wrote in April. “He bears similar strength on the ball and a cheekiness to his play that will leave Bundesliga defenders both in his wake and cutting frustrated figures.”
As part of the deal Hugo Ekitike is set to leave PSG.
The 24-year-old is valued by Transfermarkt to be worth €80m.
