Eli Junior Kroupi is ready to join Tottenham Hotspur and play under manager Roberto De Zerbi, according to a report.
Tottenham have already officially confirmed the signings of Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke and Mateus Fernandes.
Spurs also have a deal in place with Newcastle United for Sandro Tonali, who will cost the north London club £100million in transfer fees.
Tottenham are now planning to sign a winger, with Eli Junior Kroupi on their radar, according to The Independent.
Kroupi was a star for Bournemouth last season, as the 20-year-old France Under-21 international scored 13 goals in 33 Premier League matches.

‘The Bournemouth star is wanted by Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain and the south-coast club want a figure north of £80m to part ways with the 20-year-old.
‘But Spurs are nevertheless willing to spend big once again in a bid to avoid a repeat of the last two seasons, which have seen them flirt with relegation, despite winning the Europa League.’
It has now been claimed that Kroupi has already held talks with Tottenham and wants to work with manager De Zerbi.
An X account with 64,5000 followers, Krrish, has claimed that the youngster is ‘excited’ at the prospect of playing for Tottenham.
The account, which has been very active with transfer news this summer, has added that Bournemouth do not want to sell Kroupi and want €100million (£86m) for him.
