Bournemouth insists Arsenal target Eli Junior Kroupi will not be sold

Bournemouth confirms that forward Eli Junior Kroupi will not be sold during the January transfer window, despite interest from Arsenal. The Gunners are eager to secure Kroupi, who has missed much of the season due to injury but was the highest-scoring teenager in the Premier League last season. Arsenal's ability to sign Kroupi may hinge on Bournemouth's willingness to negotiate, as delaying a potential transfer until summer could increase competition from other clubs for Kroupi's signature. Arsenal may need to showcase a strong role for Kroupi to convince him of a move to the Emirates.
