What we know

Premier League clubs including Tottenham and Brentford are tracking Lucas Da Cunha after his contract renewal at Como, per TuttoMercatoWeb on 23 October. Sport, on 27 October, attributes the story to TuttoMercatoWeb and repeats that both English sides are closely monitoring the situation.

His contract at Como runs to June 2031. The report began with TuttoMercatoWeb, which named Brentford and Tottenham as the clubs keeping tabs on the French central midfielder. Neither outlet specifies a fee, a formal approach, or a preferred window; both stop at surveillance.

TuttoMercatoWeb leaves the move as interest only, and Sport repeats that framing without adding conditions or denials.
