Burnley's stance on Loum Tchaouna amid reports of AS Monaco enquiry
Loum Tchaouna is not expected to leave Burnley this month despite talk of an enquiry from a club in his homeland.
French outlet L’Equipe claim that AS Monaco have expressed an interest in the 22-year-old ahead of Monday’s 7pm deadline.
But the Burnley Express understands that, despite a lack of game time in recent weeks, it’s considered unlikely he will depart.
The winger only arrived at Turf Moor during the summer in a permanent deal from Serie A outfit Lazio, for a reported £12m fee.
He’s made 19 appearances this term, scoring twice, but hasn’t started a league game in 2026, with his last start coming against Newcastle United on December 30, 2025.
His only start in January came in the FA Cup, where the Frenchman scored in Burnley’s 5-1 third round thrashing of Millwall.
It was Tchaouna’s second goal of the campaign, having also netted a long-range thunderbolt during the 2-0 victory over Leeds United in October.

Tchaouna, a one-time France Under-21 international, began his career with Rennes before making the move to Italy in 2023, joining Salernitana. He left to join Lazio after one season.
Monaco, who sit 10th in the Ligue 1, are said to be in the market for a forward after losing Takumi Minamino to a long-term ACL injury in December.
It’s been a quiet window so far for the Clarets, who are yet to make any new signings despite their relegation strife.
Hannes Delcroix has left to join Swiss side FC Lugano on a permanent basis, while Luca Koleosho (Paris FC) and Michael Obafemi (Blackpool) have both departed on loan.
