Arsenal and Liverpool are both pursuing Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi as the season comes to a close.
The 19-year-old has netted 12 goals in 30 league appearances this season, drawing the attention of leading clubs eager to acquire him.
Liverpool’s Interest in Kroupi
As reported by INews, Liverpool is keen to revamp their forward line following Mohamed Salah’s exit, with Kroupi among their top targets.
The club sees him as a potential key addition, but Bournemouth is resistant to letting him go. The Cherries have set his valuation at over £100 million and are looking to extend his contract after his commendable first season.
It remains to be seen if Liverpool will formally approach Bournemouth with an offer after the season concludes.
Arsenal’s Pursuit of Kroupi
At the same time, Arsenal is monitoring Kroupi’s situation closely. Despite Viktor Gyokeres scoring 20 goals across all competitions this term, his Premier League contributions have been somewhat limited.
Arsenal is in need of more impactful players in attack, making Kroupi an ideal target for their ambitions.
The young striker possesses significant potential to shine in the Premier League, and a move to either Arsenal or Liverpool would represent a substantial advancement in his career, allowing him to compete at the highest level.
However, it seems that no club will be ready to meet the £100 million price tag this summer, indicating that a transfer might have to be postponed until a later date.
