Bournemouth rules out January transfer for Arsenal target Kroupi

Summary

Bournemouth has confirmed that they will not allow Eli Junior Kroupi to leave during the January transfer window. Despite interest from Arsenal, the club expects Kroupi to play a vital role once he regains full fitness from his pre-season injury. The forward was the highest-scoring teenager in the Premier League last season and is viewed as a potential option for Arsenal if they decide to offload Viktor Gyokeres. As Kroupi is recovering and has yet to make an appearance this season, Arsenal may have to wait until the summer to pursue a transfer.
