Arsenal and Tottenham alerted 'as Bournemouth make Eli Junior Kroupi transfer decision'

The young forward is expected to attract plenty of interest ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window despite missing the first months of the season through injury.

Tottenham had hoped to add Kroupi to their long summer shopping list before injury ended their pursuit, opening the door for Arsenal to reignite their interest in January amid the ongoing struggles of Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz.

TEAMtalk report that Manchester United have also joined the ever-expanded list of suitors for the Frenchman.

But Bournemouth have no intention of selling their highly rated forward midway through the season, despite renewed attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs following his return from injury.

The 20-year-old made his first appearance of the campaign at the weekend, coming off the bench during Bournemouth’s 3-0 victory over Man Utd, before playing 10 minutes against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

Kroupi’s return has reignited speculation over his future, and the report claims that Arsenal and Man Utd having made enquiries about his fitness and current situation.

Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Chelsea are also reportedly admirers of Kroupi.

Kroupi enjoyed an outstanding first season in English football, scoring 13 Premier League goals and establishing himself as one of the most exciting young attacking talents in the league.

Bournemouth had endured a mixed start to the campaign under new manager Marco Rose, though most recently have scored three goals against each of AC Milan, Manchester United and Aston Villa within seven days.

The Cherries are poised for a fight to keep hold of not only Kroupi, but also England international Alex Scott who is attracting interest from Chelsea.
