Bournemouth reveal Eli Junior Kroupi plan after Arsenal handed new ‘transfer update’

Bournemouth manager Marco Rose revealed that Arsenal transfer target Eli Junior Kroupi has returned to full training ahead of schedule and could play against Manchester United. The 20-year-old forward has not featured this season following surgery on a fractured metatarsal in July. Despite ongoing interest from Arsenal, reports indicate Bournemouth are unwilling to entertain any transfer bids for Kroupi during the upcoming January window.

Kroupi was targeted by Arsenal in the summer after scoring 13 Premier League goals last season following a £10 million move from Lorient. While Bournemouth intend to retain Kroupi, the club has reportedly softened its stance regarding midfielder Alex Scott, indicating they would consider a permanent sale in January for a fee of at least £100 million.
