Tottenham Hotspur continue to be strongly linked with a move for Eli Junior Kroupi as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his squad during an ambitious summer transfer window ahead of his first campaign in charge.
Reports suggest Spurs may hold an edge over Paris Saint-Germain in the race for the Bournemouth forward, with the North London club reportedly able to offer the 20-year-old a guaranteed starting role.
There have also been claims that Tottenham are preparing a huge offer for Kroupi, although competition for his signature is becoming increasingly fierce.
According to Wednesday’s edition of Sport, via Sport Witness, Barcelona have now joined the race after identifying Kroupi as a backup option to Julian Alvarez. While the Argentine remains the Catalan club’s preferred target, they could switch their attention to the Bournemouth youngster if a deal with Atletico Madrid cannot be completed.
Tottenham, Arsenal and PSG are also in the running, with all four clubs believing Bournemouth could eventually sanction a sale despite the Cherries maintaining that the French prospect is not on the market. The report adds that the player’s preference is expected to play a decisive role in determining his next destination.
Among the interested clubs, Tottenham are said to be leading the chase. De Zerbi is reportedly a huge admirer of Kroupi and has urged the club to speed up negotiations as he looks to bolster his attacking options.
Sport claims Spurs are determined to do everything possible to beat Arsenal, Barcelona and PSG to the highly rated forward. If Kroupi pushes for a move away from Bournemouth this summer, Tottenham are believed to be in a strong position to secure his signature.
