Chelsea are reportedly among a group of elite clubs tracking Eli Junior Kroupi, the 19-year-old forward starring for AFC Bournemouth this season.
The French striker has impressed in his debut Premier League campaign, scoring eight goals from limited minutes and generating interest across Europe. He has made the transition from Ligue 2 f French football seamlessly.
Bournemouth are keen to tie him down to a new contract and have slapped a hefty £80 million valuation on him, a price that would make him one of the club’s most expensive ever sales. Chelsea reportedly have scouts watching his games regularly, assessing whether he could be a major attacking addition in the summer window.
They face potentially stiff competition though, with Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be monitoring the young striker. If Chelsea pursue him, he would bring pace, finishing and future resale value — potentially strengthening their forward line for years to come.
