Paris Brunner was born to a Congolese mother and a German father, there’s no doubt of the player’s ability on the field but a series of disciplinary problems has already drawn comparisons to Mario Balotelli the Italian, and if not carefully the player might fade.
His development as a player has gone swiftly beyond measure prompting many to notice his abilities at such a young age especially when he already won the under-17 at only 16 years of age leaving his national team manager to defend him, Christian Wuck said: “Paris is a very reflective player. He knows where he wants to go and what he has to invest to get there. That characterises him and, in my opinion, is the main reason why he has developed so rapidly over the past year.”
“Paris is very present and dangerous in front of goal,” Wuck said. “He develops an incredible power when playing with and against the ball. Thanks to this power, his physicality and athleticism paired with his technical skills, he is predestined to score quickly after winning the ball quickly. He also has good basic speed. All these different factors make him so dangerous.”
“I don’t think he’s lacking the ultimate fire,” Wuck later said. “He was top scorer at the European Championships and was named best player at the European Championships and World Cup. He knows where he wants to go. For me, he’s a self-confident person player and not arrogant, because he still shows his performance in an outstanding way.”
His father had rebuffed claims he landed in Italy to meet potential teams who are interested in signing the young forward.
His father told Sport1: “The story that I was recently in Italy to discuss a transfer is completely unfounded. There’s absolutely nothing to it. The talks with Dortmund are still going on, but nothing has been decided yet. The top priority for Paris at his age is clearly the sporting prospects and not the financial conditions.”
