Tottenham may miss out on a rising Premier League star this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur aimed to sign a centre-forward during the winter transfer window.
Several players were linked to White Hart Lane, including Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta and Brentford’s Igor Thiago. However, the club only made two signings by the end of the January transfer window.
Conor Gallagher and Souza were the new additions. One of the main goals was to address the scoring issues caused by the injuries to Dominic Solanke and Richarlison, as well as Randal Kolo Muani’s inability to score since joining on loan from PSG last year. Looking ahead to summer, club management plans to strengthen the attack.
Bournemouth to discuss new contract with Eli Junior Kroupi
Reports suggest that Tottenham is interested in signing Bournemouth’s promising player Eli Junior Kroupi.
Kroupi has become one of the Premier League’s standout young talents. He has impressed with his performances, adapting quickly to the league’s demands while contributing goals and energy.
The teenager has scored eight goals in 21 Premier League matches so far. Kroupi’s success at Bournemouth has attracted attention from clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, all of whom are watching his progress closely. In response, Bournemouth is taking steps to secure the player’s future.
According to TEAMtalk, Bournemouth plans to initiate negotiations for a new contract with Kroupi after his impressive start in England. They want to offer him a lucrative new deal to fend off interest from rival clubs.
Having joined for just €13m from Lorient, Kroupi’s market value has surged to around £80m thanks to his standout efforts. PSG is also interested in him. With the rising interest, Bournemouth aims to finalize a new contract that could double his current earnings at the Vitality Stadium.
It’s worth noting that Tottenham may find it challenging to complete any transfers this summer until a new permanent head coach is appointed. Top players will want clarity on the club’s direction, how they fit into the manager’s plans, and potential opportunities for growth.
For now, Tottenham’s focus remains on improving under interim manager Igor Tudor.
