adminTottenham Hotspur have made a major splash this summer with six new signings already secured, including two record-breaking deals—first bringing in Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million, then landing former Newcastle star Sandro Tonali in a £100 million package.
Now, manager Roberto De Zerbi is turning his attention to strengthening his attack, after last season’s forward line struggled to fire consistently.
With Randal Kolo Muani returning to PSG following his loan spell, the squad currently has only Richarlison and Dominic Solanke as senior strikers—prompting De Zerbi to push for a new No. 9 before the window closes.
One name high on his list is Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi, who impressed in his breakout Premier League season with 13 goals in 33 appearances.
The 20-year-old has attracted serious interest from across Europe, including Barcelona, who view him as a potential alternative to Julián Álvarez.
Amid growing competition, former scout Bryan King has urged Spurs to go all out—suggesting they may need to offer Kroupi a “golden contract” to stand a chance. However, King cautioned that if Paris Saint-Germain make a serious move, Tottenham could be left in the dust.
As a Frenchman, Champions League winner, and native speaker, PSG would hold a natural advantage—and they have the financial firepower to match Bournemouth’s reported £85 million asking price.
Still, King acknowledges Kroupi’s immense talent: versatile, technically sharp, and composed beyond his years. While PSG may be his preferred destination, playing time could be limited there.
That’s where Spurs might find an opening—by offering a clear development roadmap, regular first-team football under De Zerbi, and a lucrative deal.
Landing Kroupi would be a statement signing for Tottenham, sending ripples through both the Premier League and Europe.
