Tottenham Hotspur will have to see off competition from three of the biggest clubs in Europe to win the race for Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi.
Kroupi is being heavily linked with a move to Roberto De Zerbi’s side, as the Lilywhites look to continue their summer spending spree ahead of the Italian’s first season in charge.
Some sources have said that Spurs could have an advantage over PSG in the race for the Bournemouth man, as they could offer the player a guaranteed place in their starting line-up.
There have even been suggestions that Tottenham are preparing a mega bid for Kroupi, but the competition for the 20-year-old is now intensifying.
Tottenham battling Barcelona, Arsenal and PSG for Eli Junior Kroupi
Wednesday’s edition of Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) claims that Barcelona have also entered the race for Kroupi, having identified him as an alternative for Julian Alvarez.
While the Argentine remains their top target, the Catalan giants could pursue the Cherries star if they are unable to strike a deal with Atletico Madrid.
Spurs, PSG, and Arsenal are named as the other three contenders for Kroupi’s signature, with all three clubs believing that Bournemouth would sell the youngster, even though the South Coast club have insisted that he is not for sale.
The outlet claims that eventually ‘the player’s wish will prevail’ this summer regarding his next destination.
Spurs are ready to go all out for Kroupi
Sport say that out of the four clubs interested in Kroupi, Tottenham are the most persistent in trying to get a deal done.
This is because Roberto De Zerbi is ‘enthusiastic’ about adding the Frenchman to his attack and urging his side to ‘accelerate negotiations’ for the 20-year-old.
The report states that Spurs are ‘determined to go all out’ to beat Arsenal and others to Kroupi. The publication adds that if Kroupi is in a hurry to leave Bournemouth, he could end up at Tottenham.
