Despite a double major in Spanish/Communication, I decided to pursue my dreams in journalism. With a master’s degree in sports journalism, I cover sports news and football with great admiration for the transfer periods, where a club must make crucial choices for the next season.
It’s no secret that PSG is looking to recruit young promising players. Following a successful debut season in the Premier League, Eli Junior Kroupi has caught the eye of many. While the Parisian club may consider the 19-year-old Frenchman, three top English clubs are also interested in signing the Bournemouth star. Here’s the breakdown.
The PSG summer transfer window is expected to be lively. Staying true to their sports policy, the capital club is set to target young promising talents to strengthen their squad. In the Premier League, a young forward has been impressing observers. At just 19 years old, Eli Junior Kroupi has surpassed 10 goals in the Premier League with Bournemouth. Naturally, the name of the former FC Lorient striker is slowly being linked to top European clubs.
Eli Junior Kroupi highly sought after
If PSG shows interest in the French-Ivorian forward born in 2006, they will face stiff competition. Reports suggest Bournemouth has set an asking price of 80 million euros for Kroupi, who is also being pursued by top Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City, as revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs. It remains to be seen if Kroupi will decide to spend another season at the Cherries. Journalist Walid Acherchour recently stated that Kroupi would be an ideal signing for PSG.
“I really like Eli Kroupi, I see him as a back-up for Dembele”
“At the end of the season, it might surprise some, but I will look for Eli Kroupi and bench Ramos. I really like Eli Kroupi, I see him as a back-up for Dembele because I think he fits the profile better. When you want to rest Dembele, you can bring in Eli Kroupi, who will perfectly match what Luis Enrique wants to implement, without changing the playing style,” Acherchour revealed.
