Fabrizio Romano: Arsenal make official contact to sign 'world-class' star for Mikel Arteta

Arsenal are in the market for reinforcements in the summer transfer window despite lifting the Premier League title.

The Gunners won't want to stand still after their first-place finish, looking to bring in new additions all across the team.

The North London side were recently knocked out of the Champions League final by Paris Saint-Germain, so they will be looking for reinforcements to help them go one step further in Europe.

Despite winning the Premier League, there are still some areas of Mikel Arteta's squad that could do with being improved.

With their season now over following the Champions League final, attention for the Gunners will now turn to the summer transfer window.

Arsenal Make Forward Transfer Call

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have recently made a call to be informed on the future of Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi ahead of the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are waiting to be informed by the Cherries about a potential price tag after the young forward enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League.

Kroupi broke the record in the Premier League towards the end of the season by scoring his 13th goal, ensuring he has the most strikes scored by a teenager in their debut campaign.

After a strong start to life in England, Kroupi is now being targeted by some of the biggest clubs in the world.

According to reports, Arsenal could make one marquee signing in the summer transfer window.

Although Kroupi, labelled as a 'world-class talent' by teammate Marcus Tavernier, perhaps isn't a marquee addition in terms of his ability just yet, reports have claimed that he could cost in the region of £80 million.

The Cherries will be looking to move forward and not sell all of their best talents after qualifying for Europe this season.

Bournemouth's model is often to buy and sell, but they will need to keep some of their stars if they want to be able to compete in Europe.
