Junior Kroupi is the new name on Tottenham Hotspur's radar amid an exciting summer transfer window. The Bournemouth striker is one of Europe's most promising frontmen and Spurs are seemingly eager to bring him to North London.

It's been reported that the Lilywhites are targeting Kroupi who enjoyed a breakout season at the Vitality. He found the back of the net 13 times in 33 league games, showing huge potential and confidence to be a starting number nine in the Premier League.

At just 20 years of age, the sky is the limit for Kroupi and Roberto De Zerbi could do with his firepower. Should the club indeed pounce for the French youngster, it could mean curtains for two high-profile stars.

Time for Tottenham to cut ties with attacking duo

Tottenham haven't been afraid to splash the cash this summer even before making lucrative sales. The North Londoners broke their transfer record to sign Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United in an £100m deal.

Mateus Fernandes has also arrived from West Ham United for £85m. The club beat Manchester United to the Portuguese midfielder.

There is a possibility Spurs swoop for Kroupi next but the higher-ups do need to start offloading several members of De Zerbi's squad. All eyes will be on who leads the line if the Frenchman arrives in North London.

The time has come for Richarlison to part ways amid a topsy-turvy spell. The Brazilian arrived from Everton for £60m back in the summer of 2022.

Richarlison has come in and out of form and his inconsistency is an issue. He finished last season with a tally of 11 goals in 32 league games but with just a year left on his contract it's time to cash in.

If Spurs want to get ruthless following a relegation battle, moving Dominic Solanke on will confirm they mean business. The English forward has endured constant injury setbacks since arriving from Bournemouth for £65m in August 2024.

Solanke managed just three goals in 15 league outings last season. He hasn't lived up to expectations and as a result should be offloaded to make way for Kroupi.

Richarlison more likely to go

Richarlison looks the likeliest to make way amid reports claiming the club have a price in mind. Turkish outlet Ajansspor reports that they are demanding around €30m (£25m) for the 29-year-old.

The Brazilian has been linked with clubs in Europe and the Middle East as far back as the latter stages of Ange Postecoglou's reign. He might be keen to move on after missing out on a place in Brazil's World Cup squad.

That said, Solanke is more likely to raise more money if sold and there has been interest shown from Premier League clubs. Back in March, talkSPORT reported that Newcastle United were eyeing the 28-year-old.
