Arsenal have been handed an Eli Junior Kroupi transfer update, as Bournemouth's stance on a January deal has reportedly been revealed. The Cherries are not willing to sell the 20-year-old, with club insiders believing he would benefit from another season with them.
Kroupi update and Alvarez boost
As reported by Standard Sport in the summer, Kroupi was a target for Arsenal after scoring 13 goals in his first Premier League season, having joined Bournemouth for £10million from Lorient. Amid significant interest, it was understood that a bid of close to £100m would likely be required to test Bournemouth's resolve.
However, the Cherries' stance was that the 20-year-old was not for sale, with their position being strengthened by securing European football. Elsewhere, Arsenal have received a boost in their pursuit of Julian Alvarez, as Jonathan David is starting to convince Atletico Madrid of a permanent transfer.
Haaland, Mac Allister and Brobbey updates
Erling Haaland is unlikely to be making a sensational switch to the Emirates Stadium in the wake of Manchester City's financial case, as reports claim the striker would prefer to join Barcelona. The Catalan club are also weighing up their options over Chelsea forward Estevao.
Real Madrid are closely monitoring Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister ahead of a possible move in 2027, according to Football Insider. Liverpool do not intend to renew the Argentine's contract, with both sides considering a summer 2027 departure. In Italy, reports say Juventus are interested in Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey and recently sent an emissary to watch him for the Netherlands.
Man United and Tottenham decisions
Manchester United are set to extend Harry Amass' contract ahead of the January transfer window. The Red Devils are short on senior left-back options, particularly after Patrick Dorgu's injury scare on international duty with Denmark earlier this week.
Tottenham have a decision to make over Lucas Williams-Barnett after handing the youngster a senior squad promotion. Spurs fans have also been sent a clear message over any potential return for striker Troy Parrott, who joined Real Betis in a £17.1million transfer over the summer.
