Tottenham still keen on pursuing a move for Eli Junior Kroupi | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur will try to sign Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi later this summer.

They have placed the potential deal on hold while immediate concerns are being resolved. Spurs are currently focused on finalising a deal for Manchester City winger Savinho.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi has identified the 22-year-old Brazilian as a key target to bolster Tottenham’s wide attacking options.

Direct negotiations with City over a permanent transfer worth more than £60 million are nearing a decisive stage.

Tottenham are prioritising squad management by actively seeking to sell Lucas Bergvall, Guglielmo Vicario and Cristian Romero.

Inter Milan have stepped up negotiations for Romero in a proposed €40 million deal, and potential loan or permanent exits are being explored for Bergvall and Vicario.

Tottenham intend to turn their full attention to Kroupi once they have made room in their squad.

The 20-year-old Frenchman enjoyed a standout breakout season at Bournemouth, scoring 13 Premier League goals and attracting significant interest from elite-level clubs.

Kroupi has signalled a desire to move to Tottenham, giving them encouragement to pursue a deal.

Bournemouth are holding out for around £90 million to sanction a sale, and Spurs are preparing to formalise their approach once outgoing squad movements are finalised.
