Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Tottenham are preparing a high-value opening bid to 'test' Bournemouth’s stance on Eli Junior Kroupi.
- Media estimates of the potential package vary but commonly place it between about £75 million and £85 million.
- Bournemouth have publicly insisted Kroupi is not for sale and strengthened their position by qualifying for European competition and holding him to a long-term deal.
- Kroupi, 20, scored 13 Premier League goals last season, was nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year and joined Bournemouth on a contract through 2030.
- Tottenham’s interest comes during an aggressive recruitment drive that has already seen multiple big signings and could prompt reshuffling of Spurs’ forwards if a deal were made, though no formal club-to-club offer has been announced.
