Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi reportedly “dreams” of joining Paris Saint-Germain, despite being linked with a summer move to Arsenal. The 19-year-old has enjoyed a standout season, scoring 13 Premier League goals for the Cherries, who finished sixth to secure European football for the first time.
French outlet Footmercato claims Kroupi would be delighted to join the European champions, with PSG among several clubs interested. Bournemouth are said to value the player at around £86 million, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Manchester City also monitoring the situation.
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has identified a left winger, striker, right-back, and midfielder as priorities for a summer overhaul following their Champions League final defeat. Kroupi fits the profile, and former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, now set to take over at Liverpool, has praised the youngster's finishing and development.
Speaking in April, Iraola said: “His finishing is top for me. He has become a much better player. I have tried to make him focus on other parts and he has improved a lot.” The summer transfer window opens on 15 June and closes on 1 September.
