Eli Junior Kroupi is emerging as the dream forward signing among Spurs fans, but a deal for the Bournemouth star will not be easy for Tottenham to pull off this summer.
The 20-year-old forward arrived with a huge reputation from Lorient last summer, and not only did he score 13 times in his debut Premier League season, but he also showcased his versatility, impressing in several positions.
This has piqued the interest of Tottenham, who have registered their interest in bringing Kroupi to N17 ahead of Roberto De Zerbi’s first full season in charge.
Spurs are expected to face plenty of competition for the Bournemouth star, and poaching him from the Vitality Stadium remains a difficult ask.

Over the last few days, some sources have even claimed that Spurs are preparing a mammoth offer for the 20-year-old Frenchman, as they look to steal a march on the competition.
Alasdair Gold has now confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of many clubs eyeing Kroupi, but explained that the Cherries are not listening to offers for the player at the moment.
The journalist said on his YouTube show: “Junior Kroupi we know is a player of huge interest to a lot of clubs, not just Tottenham. He is a terrific talent, but the feeling coming out of Bournemouth is that he is not for a sale and they’ve been making similar noises about Alex Scott.”

The other Bournemouth star on the Lilywhites’ wishlist is Alex Scott, who has been on Tottenham’s radar for a long time.
Spurs may have to battle the likes of Arsenal and Man United for Scott’s signature, but Gold admitted that he would love for the Lilywhites to push ahead with a concrete move for the 22-year-old.
The journalist added on the England U21 midfielder: “Spurs are admirers of him. I would love them to go for Alex Scott, and he may pick them, being a Tottenham fan.”
