Tottenham are now said to be going after attackers as they look to continue their huge spending this summer. Spurs have already racked up a huge spending total this season, and a record total at that. Roberto De zerbi has been handed more than £230million to improve his squad, and there will be more money spent before the summer is out.
There will be some sales along the way , and Luka Vuskovic was the first to go, while Cristian Romero is likely to follow at some point this summer. But Tottenham's spending will far outweigh their incomings, and especially after they add to their business with attacking recruits, which is the next step after the signings of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.
Tottenham handed Kroupi blow
Tottenham's next priority in the summer window is to sign a winger, with De Zerbi wanting another dangerous wideman and potentially another forward. A number of potential targets have been linked, including Manchester City's winger Savinho and AFC Bournemouth's forward Junior Kroupi.
Kroupi has scored 13 goals in 33 league appearances for Bournemouth, and he is now attracting attention from a number of clubs.
Spurs are said to be one of those interested, but according to journalist Alasdair Gold, Bournemouth are not likely to play ball.
"Junior Kroupi we know is a player of huge interest to a lot of clubs, not just Tottenham," Gold said on his YouTube show . "He is a terrific talent but the feeling coming out of Bournemouth is that he is not for a sale and they've been making similar noises about Alex Scott. Spurs are admirers of him. I would love them to go for Alex Scott and he may pick them being a Tottenham fan."
Kroupi a 'generational talent'
AFC Bournemouth defender Marcus Tavernier described Kroupi as a 'generational talent' earlier this year. He said: "I’ve said before, Junior is a generational talent.
“The club has done an amazing job to pick Kroupi up. That boy has an unbelievable future ahead of him and today he showed why he’s such a good talent in the world of football.”
Kroupi has also been linked with a move to PSG, and there have been reports that he prefers a move back to his home country, France, but much will come down to who can convince Bournemouth to sell. An £80million price has been floated, but if the Cherries do not want to sell, it's likely any interested club will have to pay over the odds.
Tottenham have scheduled transfer talks with the player's representatives over a summer deal
