Tottenham Eye £100m Forward: Should De Zerbi Risk A January Move?

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly retain serious interest in Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, but Vital Football argues manager Roberto De Zerbi should avoid making a permanent move in January. Although Tottenham seek greater finishing efficiency following a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, Bournemouth could demand between £80m and £100m for the 20-year-old, who remains under contract until 2030.

The writer believes spending up to £100m represents an unnecessary risk due to Kroupi recently recovering from July surgery on a fractured metatarsal. Vital Football recommends Tottenham instead wait until the summer to evaluate Kroupi's fitness and form, while relying on current forwards Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush.
