Arsenal linked with Monaco forward Paris Brunner

German-Congolese forward Paris Brunner, currently with Monaco, has been linked with a move to Arsenal in the Premier League.

The 20-year-old centre-forward has scored four goals in six Ligue 1 appearances this season, while also contributing two goals and an assist in two Conference League matches. He has started 75% of Monaco’s league games and has been in the starting line-up for every European appearance.

Brunner joined Monaco from Borussia Dortmund’s under-19 side in August 2024 in a move reported at €4m. He spent the first part of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Cercle Bruges before returning to Monaco at the end of the season.

His current market value is listed at €15m, although there is no reported transfer fee attached to the Arsenal rumour. The forward’s form has followed a prolific youth career, including helping Germany win the Under-17 World Cup and European Under-17 Championship in 2023. He was also the leading scorer at the 2023 European Under-17 Championship.

Brunner remains under contract at Monaco until 30 June 2028, meaning any potential move to Arsenal would require an agreement between the clubs rather than a free transfer.
