Tottenham Hotspur chiefs are now growing in confidence that they will seal a deal to sign Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi this summer, according to TEAMtalk.
There is no doubt that Tottenham are winning in the transfer window in terms of Premier League clubs, having made six quality signings since the window opened four weeks ago.
The free transfer additions of Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka were impressive enough, with all three bringing huge Premier League experience and Robertson having won both the Premier League and the Champions League during his time with Liverpool.
It's only got better too since the north Londoners started spending money for signings, with Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali joining for a combined fee of around £235m.
The latter two in particular were also wanted by big clubs in the Premier League and in Europe, and both represent quite the coup for a team that finished in 17th position in the English top flight last term.
Having transformed the defence and midfield engine room, now attention has turned to strengthening a frontline that suffered from injuries and general poor form last term.
Tottenham Preparing Junior Kroupi Bid
Tottenham have received a huge boost in their bid to land exciting Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi this summer, with Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain turning their attention to a deal to sign Barcelona forward Ferran Torres instead.
According to TEAMtalk, PSG had identified Junior Kroupi as a 'dream' replacement for Goncalo Ramos following the Portugal international's big-money move to AC Milan, but the youngster isn't willing to accept a move to the Parc des Princes to be a back-up player.
Now, the Ligue 1 giants are making progress on a move to sign Torres, with personal terms already agreed and club-to-club talks advancing.
It all means that Spurs officials are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for the 'world-class talent', as they get ready to test Bournemouth's resolve with a bid, in the hope that a deal worth around £85m will be enough to convince the south coast outfit to sell.
Joining Tottenham Really Appeals to Junior Kroupi
The second big boost for Tottenham in their pursuit of another exciting Premier League player is the fact that he is said to see the prospect of linking up with De Zerbi in north London as being 'hugely appealing'.
The youngster is said to value regular first-team football over playing for a huge club where he will be out of the starting XI more often than not, which could make Spurs the perfect move.
Tottenham believe that both the player and his representatives are open to the move this summer, and they see him as a player who is capable of leading their attack for many years.
The biggest challenge will be producing an offer that is good enough to tempt Bournemouth to sell, given they are insisting he is untouchable ahead of the club's first ever European campaign under new manager Marco Rose next term.
