Paris Brunner: Arsenal linked with Monaco forward

Germany and DR Congo forward Paris Brunner, currently at Monaco, has been linked with a move to Arsenal in the Premier League.

The 20-year-old centre-forward has made six Ligue 1 appearances this season, scoring four goals. He has also scored twice and provided one assist in two Conference League matches.

Brunner joined Monaco from Borussia Dortmund’s under-19 side for €4m in August 2024. He spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Cercle Brugge before returning to the French club.

The forward was part of Germany’s Under-17 side that won the World Cup and European Championship in 2023. He was also the tournament’s leading scorer at the Under-17 European Championship, with four goals.

Brunner’s form has come during his third season under contract at Monaco, where he is valued at €15m. The club signed him as a teenager after he finished the 2023-24 campaign as Borussia Dortmund Under-19’s second-highest scorer with 20 goals.

He remains contracted to Monaco until 30 June 2028, with any potential move to Arsenal yet to be confirmed.
