New footage shows extent of Tottenham star’s £400,000 Ferrari crash – after Randal Kolo Muani was left stranded by tyre blowout


New footage shows the aftermath of Tottenham star Randal Kolo Muani’s £400,000 Ferrari crash on Tuesday.

The forward, 27, suffered a tyre blowout on the M25 on his way to Stansted Airport to travel with Spurs to their Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt. 

That left him stranded, but fellow Spurs man Wilson Odobert has been following him in Hertfordshire and was able to help, and both still started for Thomas Frank‘s side on Wednesday night despite their travel being delayed. Kolo Muani even scored the opening goal as Spurs won 2-0.

The video shows his front right tyre blocking a lane on the motorway, with the striker’s black Ferrari Purosangue beached between lanes and causing traffic to slow down. 

An eyewitness told SWNS: ‘They came past at quite a speed. A minute later I had to dodge out the way of the tyre as it was the middle of the road.

‘It was a Ferrari in the middle lane all smashed up. I didn’t have to swerve harshly but the tyre was still there so had to dodge it.

‘I thought it was a really nice car.’

Spurs boss Frank confirmed the players had come through everything unharmed.

‘Both are fine,’ he said, when asked if they had been shaken by the accident. 

‘Unfortunately, they were both involved in a minor accident. Everyone else involved in that accident was fine. It was a tyre blowing up and so the two of them are a little bit delayed. But they will land later.’

The Purosangue – the first SUV that Ferrari have released – is priced at around £313,000 but they are frequently fitted with optional extras which take them beyond £400,000.

It is powered by a 6.5-litre 725-horsepower V12 engine and can go from 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds. The top speed of the car is 192mph.

Frank is desperately short of available players. Counting Kolo Muani and Odobert, the Spurs boss only had 11 senior outfield players available for the game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven, meanwhile, are the latest additions to a growing injury list.

Porro has been ruled out for four weeks with a hamstring injury picked up at Burnley on Saturday, when he was replaced at half time. Van de Ven, who played for 90 minutes at Burnley, has not travelled to Frankfurt.

Frank said it was ‘a minor issue’ and ‘not a hamstring’ and that the Netherlands centre half is ‘big possibility’ to face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

‘It definitely does not help any of us,’ said the Spurs boss. ‘Of course, we prefer to have the best players out there on the pitch.

‘Any coach and teammate wants that, but we also have a squad and need other players to step up as they’ve done and perform.

Spurs are already guaranteed to qualify for the knock out rounds but know victory in Frankfurt will clinch a top eight finish and a bye into the last 16 of the competition.
