Arsenal will consider signing Premier League star in January

The summer transfer window for 2026 has just closed, but Arsenal already have their eyes on the next window and have identified Eli Junior Kroupi as one of the players they could sign, Football London reports.

The Frenchman was the best scoring teenager in the Premier League last season, enjoying a stunning run of form while playing for Bournemouth. His goals and overall performances almost helped the Cherries qualify for the Champions League, and they will play in the Europa League this season.

Kroupi is one of the finest young talents around, and Arsenal never want to miss an opportunity to sign a top player who can strengthen their squad. The Gunners have been monitoring his development and could make a move when the transfer window reopens.

Arsenal consider Kroupi move

The report says Arsenal will strengthen their squad in January after failing to replace Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, with Kroupi among the players who could join them. His performances for Bournemouth have made him an attractive option for the Gunners.

The Frenchman has already demonstrated his ability to perform at a high level, and his goalscoring form has made him one of the most exciting young players in the Premier League. Arsenal could therefore see him as a player capable of adding quality to their attack.

Kroupi could attract competition

If Kroupi had not been injured, there is a good chance he could have left Bournemouth at the end of last season during the latest transfer window. His injury may have played a part in keeping him at the club, but Arsenal know they cannot afford to wait too long if they want to sign him.

The Gunners also understand that if they do not make a move for Kroupi, another club could step in and secure his signature. He is simply a fantastic player who has shown enough potential to suggest that he could rise to the very top.

Arsenal will therefore have to decide whether to pursue the Bournemouth star when the window opens. Kroupi’s performances have already attracted attention, and the Gunners could see him as an ideal addition to their squad.
