Junior Kroupi continues to attract attention despite his injury. Author of 13 goals in the Premier League last season with Bournemouth, the 20-year-old French striker remains followed by Arsenal, Tottenham and PSG, according to The Sun. His value has increased considerably after his excellent season and the Cherries would now only consider a departure in exchange for a record fee for the club, estimated at around €90 million. A transfer was already being considered this summer among the player’s entourage before a foot injury contracted during preparation, requiring an operation, put the matter on hold.
After two months of convalescence, Kroupi would progress sufficiently to hope to return to full fitness around the first week of November. His return could then revive the interest of his suitors, Arsenal notably remaining in search of a young attacker who is fast and efficient in front of goal. The former Lorient player also recently declined the opportunity to represent Portugal at the World Cup, favoring his ambition to play with the France team. While waiting for a possible new soap opera around his future, his return will also constitute an important reinforcement for Bournemouth, still looking for its first victory in the Premier League this season.
