Eli Junior Kroupi: Bournemouth open the door for United

It has been a fantastic debut season in the Premier League for the Frenchman, who has netted 12 times from only 19 starts in the English top flight.

Naturally, the big sharks are all lurking with intent, but Bournemouth are desperate not to lose their young talisman.

Bournemouth might not be able to hold on

However, their stance may have softened as per SportsBoom, with the outlet claiming the team from the Vitality Stadium are eyeing possible replacements in the event the France U21 international ends up leaving.

Should any suitor submit a bid in the region of £70 million to £87 million for the “generational talent“, Bournemouth will have no choice but to accept. In that case, they will try and snap up West Ham’s Pablo.

“Another interesting angle of the transfer is Bournemouth. Here, everything depends on the young star Eli Junior Kroupi.

“If Bournemouth offloads Kroupi for an astronomical figure (rumoured numbers are in the €80-100 million range), they will enter the transfer race for Pablo.”

United need to reinforce their midfield, their backline and wide positions, and such a splurge for a backup forward remains unlikely.
