Overview
- In early July Tottenham made Kroupi a priority and are reported to have held initial talks with his representatives, with social-media reports saying the player is receptive to Roberto De Zerbi’s project.
- Bournemouth currently insist they are not keen to sell and are seeking a fee widely reported at more than £80m and potentially near €100m, and no formal club-to-club offer has been confirmed.
- Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring the situation and their involvement could turn interest into a three-way contest that drives the price higher.
- Kroupi is a 20-year-old France Under-21 forward who scored 13 Premier League goals in 33 appearances last season and is prized for his pace, versatility and finishing.
- A transfer fight would influence Tottenham’s summer rebuild and force clubs to weigh a large long-term investment against Bournemouth’s strengthened negotiating position after their European qualification.
