Chelsea Track Bournemouth Teen Kroupi as PSG 'Dream' Emerges

Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi reportedly 'dreams' of joining Paris Saint-Germain, amid interest from Chelsea and other top clubs. The 19-year-old has impressed in his first full Premier League season, scoring 13 goals for the Cherries.

Bournemouth's asking price is around £86 million, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal all linked. The South Coast club secured a sixth-place finish and Europa League qualification under departing manager Andoni Iraola.

Iraola, who is set to take over at Liverpool, praised Kroupi's finishing but emphasised his development in other areas. 'His finishing is top for me,' Iraola said in April. 'But we had to work a lot with him... he has become a much better player.'

Arsenal are prioritising attacking reinforcements after their Champions League final defeat, with Mikel Arteta targeting a left winger, striker, right-back, and midfielder. However, PSG are seen as a strong contender for Kroupi's signature.
