Tottenham Hotspur have watched Monaco's 20-year-old German striker, Paris Brunner, who is the subject of growing interest and has scored six goals in eight starts this season. Chelsea have also sent representatives to watch the forward, while Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring his progress. A January deal for Brunner could be necessitated by Monaco's financial situation, as the club is experiencing pressure to generate funds. This follows their failure to meet their summer sales target when a proposed transfer of Folarin Balogun to Everton collapsed. It is possible that Monaco could approve Brunner’s sale in January and arrange for him to remain at the club on loan for the remainder of the season. Brunner joined Monaco in August 2024, and his contract is valid until June 2028. The German U21 international has two goals in three caps and a current market value of €15M, according to Transfermarkt.
