Everton give Liverpool hope over sudden striker deal

Everton give Liverpool hope over sudden striker deal Everton have inadvertently given Liverpool hope over a sudden striker deal. Not what the Toffees intended - at all. Liverpool are in the market for a new striker. Anfield Watch understands that one of those is Paris Brunner, a German forward currently on fire for table-topping AS Monaco. Brunner has scored again on Friday evening in a 2-1 win over RC Lens. That's his sixth goal in seven games across all competitions - incredible for a player who didn't score at all last term. New head coach Filipe Luis sees the value in him, though, and was right to do so. That's absolutely one to watch, then. Brunner is on course to have a sensational season and Liverpool feel he's one keeping an eye on - and potentially moving for in 2027. Watch this space. And if Brunner does move to Anfield, it'll be thanks to Everton. They've inadvertently given their rivals hope that a deal could happen. Thank you, Everton Liverpool view a potential deal as possible for Brunner because of Monaco's financial situation. It's the same reason they believe a solid deal can be found for Lamine Camara in 2027 - Monaco need the cash more than they need great players. It's a situation that the Ligue 1 side tried to fix in the summer as Camara nearly joined Chelsea. He wasn't the only deadline-day deal, either, as Folarin Balogun was right on the verge of joining Everton. However, both deals collapsed. Camara was held onto because no one met the asking price, while Balogun deliberately collapsed his Everton deal after feeling he was getting messed around . That means Monaco still have the player and his presence at the club opens the door to a Brunner sale. After all, Monaco have depth up top when they thought they wouldn't, while they didn't get the cash influx for the USA international that they'd thought they'd get. That all makes them a little more likely to sell Brunner in January (or the summer) as the need for cash is great and the easiest position to sell in is up top. A situation that wouldn't exist on either count if Balogun had joined Everton as planned. Thank you, Everton, in other words.
