Manchester City and Arsenal are two of the European powerhouses tracking Bournemouth teenager Junior Kroupi ahead of the summer transfer window.
Kroupi only joined the Cherries from Lorient for an initial £11.2m in January 2024, and the Frenchman has since established himself as one of the Premier League’s sought-after talents.

Bournemouth’s No. 22 became the first teenager since Robbie Keane in 1999/00 to score 12 goals in a single Premier League campaign, joining Robbie Fowler on that list.
The 19-year-old’s record-equalling strike came during a dominant 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, which extended their unbeaten league run to 15 matches in the league.
The Cherries are on the verge of Europe – currently in sixth position by two points with three matches left – and the club has no plans to dismantle their squad.
Man City and Arsenal are among several clubs to admire Kroupi, but Bournemouth have no plans to sell the electric forward, according to The Times, and believe he could be become a £100m player one day.
That valuation will soon become a reality if he continues scoring at such a rate, and maybe then, the Cherries would consider selling him.
