Arsenal have moved quickly to list Bournemouth winger Eli Kroupi Junior as a transfer target after his late‑stage strike helped the Gunners edge Manchester City and seal the Premier League title. His pace and composure impress scouts, prompting north London scouts to monitor his contract situation at Dean Court.

Rewarding manager Mikel Arteta with a new contract tops Arsenal’s off‑season agenda, a deal that would place him among football’s highest‑paid coaches. Alongside the salary boost, the club is earmarking a sizeable transfer war chest for the summer, with interest already flagged on PSG forward Bradley Barcola. Barcola’s versatility adds depth to the attack.

The Gunners’ summer strategy now centres on converting interest into signings, with Kroupi expected to command a fee that reflects his title‑winning contribution. Kroupi could become a regular starter. Other Premier League giants are also active – Manchester City pursue Elliot Anderson, while Manchester United eye Shea Charles amid Southampton’s controversy. Arsenal’s intent signals a determined push to reinforce the squad ahead of the new campaign.
