According to The Standard, Bournemouth have clarified their stance on Eli Junior Kroupi as January planning accelerates across Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. There is also fresh noise around Erling Haaland and movement on several Premier League targets.
Bournemouth are said to consider Kroupi not for sale this winter, with interest understood to need a bid near £100m to test their resolve. The 20-year-old hit 13 league goals after a £10m switch from Lorient, and the club believe another season, alongside European football, would aid his development.
Haaland is thought unlikely to make a sensational switch to the Emirates Stadium in the wake of Manchester City’s financial case, with reports claiming he would prefer to join Barcelona. The Catalans are also weighing up options regarding Chelsea forward Estevao.
Chelsea have completed the signing of former Tottenham youngster Leo Black, though they could miss out to Liverpool for Lamine Camara.
Manchester United are set to extend Harry Amass’ contract to ease their left-back shortage, while they continue to keep tabs on Alejandro Balde.
Tottenham must decide on Lucas Williams-Barnett following a recent promotion to the senior squad, with their January targets also emerging. Arsenal may yet receive a boost in their pursuit of Julian Alvarez after developments elsewhere.
