Tottenham prepare a swap deal to sign Junior Kroupi

Tottenham are considering a swap deal involving three players to sign Junior Kroupi from AFC Bournemouth, in an attempt to outdo their rivals, including Arsenal.

TEAMtalk reported that Junior Kroupi was one of Tottenham's key targets last summer, but the player's injury prevented the deal from being completed, and the club continues to monitor his situation.

Tottenham are considering including Wilson Odobert in the offer, alongside talents Mikey Moore and Luca Williams-Barnett, knowing that the deal may require letting go of players they would prefer to keep.

Junior Kroupi, aged 20, has joined AFC Bournemouth from FC Lorient in the summer of 2025 for around £12 million, scoring 13 goals in his first season in the Premier League, setting a record for a player of his age in their first season in the competition.

Tottenham face competition from Arsenal and Manchester United, while Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona are monitoring the player, who has received his first call-up to the senior France national team.

However, Bournemouth do not guarantee approval for the departure of their striker, especially with the possibility of selling Alex Scott, which may lead them to hold on to Kroupi and refuse to part with another important player during the mid-season.
