Juventus want to be in race for Bournemouth star – Monitoring situation closely

Juventus join Barcelona, Tottenham and Arsenal in monitoring the 20-year-old Bournemouth striker after his record-breaking Premier League debut season.

Eli Junior Kroupi has attracted interest from Europe's biggest clubs after an exceptional first season in English football. The 20-year-old scored 13 Premier League goals in 33 appearances for Bournemouth, the most by any teenager in their debut season in the competition. He arrived from FC Lorient for £10m and has impressed under manager Andoni Iraola with his versatility, capable of playing as a centre-forward, on the flanks, or as an attacking midfielder.

Juventus have now joined the race to sign him, according to reports. The Italian giants are actively tracking Kroupi and see him as one of the most exciting prospects in the Premier League. His ability to play multiple attacking positions appeals to Juventus, who are seeking to add unpredictability and cutting edge to their forward line. Barcelona, Tottenham and Arsenal have also been linked with interest in the 20-year-old, who recently encouraged transfer speculation by stating his ambition to play for the world's biggest clubs.
