Eli Junior Kroupi’s agent has addressed the speculation linking the forward with a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
While Tottenham have explored a deal to bring Kroupi to N17 after his outstanding debut season in the Premier League, they are not the only ones interested.
Several reliable journalists have claimed that Spurs are expected to face plenty of competition for the Bournemouth star, including from the likes of Arsenal, PSG and Barcelona.
In fact, reports from Spain have indicated that Barca consider Tottenham their ‘most dangerous rival’ in the race for Kroupi, who the Catalan giants have identified as a potential alternative to Julian Alvarez if they are unable to land the Argentine.
Eli Junior Kroupi’s agent refuses to rule out Tottenham move
Tottenham insiders have revealed over recent days that Kroupi has signalled a willingness to move to Spurs during the talks that the North London club have held with the player and his camp.
Interestingly, the French forward’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, has now admitted that his client’s future is under discussion and a final decision on a possible transfer could be made over the coming days.
When asked about the possibility of Kroupi ending up at Barcelona or Tottenham, Sissoko told Sport: “We are still discussing his future. We’ll see what happens in the coming days; at the moment, there is no final decision.”
Spurs will have to break the bank to land Kroupi
While the player appears to be undecided on his future, reports continue to suggest that Bournemouth have told Kroupi’s suitors that he is not for sale.
It is unclear if the Cherries’ stance will change, particularly given that another one of their starlets, Alex Scott, is also being pursued by several top clubs.
What is clear is that the former Lorient man will not come cheap, with reports indicating that Bournemouth will demand £80m for Kroupi.
