Tottenham Hotspur have already made six major additions to their first-team squad for the new season, and they're not done yet.

Spurs confirmed the arrival of Sandro Tonali in a club-record £100m deal on Monday morning, with the Italian following Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Mateus Fernandes into north London as part of Roberto De Zerbi's revolution.

But despite being very active in the market before pre-season has even begun, Tottenham are ready to go again to continue strengthening the side, and are now targeting a move for a new forward.

Tottenham Prepare £75m Kroupi Bid

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tottenham are preparing to make an opening £75m offer to sign Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi.

Kroupi, who has been described as 'world-class', enjoyed a stunning breakthrough campaign for the Cherries in the Premier League last season, netting a record 12 goals as a teenager, and attracting the attention of some of Europe's biggest clubs, including reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Tottenham are understood to be at the front of the queue currently as they can offer him an immediate starting role, whereas PSG are likely to use the Frenchman as an immediate backup to current starters Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue.

Tottenham's hierarchy are fully committed to backing De Zerbi in the transfer market, and the club are now preparing an opening offer of around £75m to try and convince Bournemouth to part ways with their star forward.

The Cherries have been adamant that they will not sell Kroupi this summer, but Spurs believe the player would be open to joining them, and with the promise of regular first-team football and a mega-money offer, they are optimistic they can get a deal done.

Tottenham Going All-Out This Summer

Spurs have already broken their spending record twice this summer, and while Kroupi is highly unlikely to cost in excess of the £100m they paid for Tonali, he probably won't be too far behind.

The Frenchman is an incredibly talented young forward, and has shown that he is ready and able to make an impact at the highest level despite his age. Tottenham need new forwards to be competitive, and Kroupi is someone who fits the bill with what they are trying to do.

It's clear that the north London side are ready to go all-out to get back to competing at the top end of the Premier League following two consecutive 17th-placed finishes, and the board are now set to go into the market once again.
