Bournemouth’s latest transfer pursuit may give Tottenham Hotspur some encouragement in their chances of signing Eli Junior Kroupi.According to various reports, Spurs are now working on adding multiple attackers to their squad, with a new left-winger thought to be a priority for the Lilywhites.It first emerged a couple of days ago that Kroupi is among the attackers of interest to Roberto De Zerbi’s side, and the rumour caused plenty of excitement among Spurs fans, given the potential the 20-year-old had shown in his first Premier League season.According to reports, Bournemouth are expected to demand over £80m for Kroupi, but Tottenham are not deterred by the price as they attempt to add quality to their attack.Photo by Robin Jones – AFC Bournemouth/AFC Bournemouth via Getty ImagesBournemouth do not see Alvaro Rodriguez as a replacement for Tottenham target Eli Junior KroupiOver the last 24 hours, several outlets, including The Athletic, have reported that Bournemouth are in advanced talks over a £26m deal for Elche forward Alvaro Rodriguez.This was seen by some as an encouraging sign for Spurs, with the Spaniard potentially being a replacement for Kroupi.However, Sky Sports’ Mark McAdam has now revealed that Bournemouth do not see their Elche forward as a replacement for the Frenchman.He adds that the Cherries have no need to sell their star man and that it would take a huge fee to prise the former Lorient man away from the Vitality Stadium.McAdam wrote on X: “Alvaro Rodríguez would not be a replacement for Junior Kroupi. Bournemouth have no need to sell and Bill Foley wants Marco Rose to have the strongest squad possible in his first season. It would take an astronomical figure to even to consider a sale.”🧨 Álvaro Rodríguez would not be a replacement for Junior Kroupi.Bournemouth have no need to sell and Bill Foley wants Marco Rose to have the strongest squad possible in his first season.
