**Arsenal** has placed forward **Eli Junior Kroupi**, **20 years old**, as their top target for the January transfer market. The next Arsenal transfers market could come with a hit in the Premier League to secure the title.

As reported by The Independent, the board led by Mikel Arteta plans to make a formal offer to **Bournemouth** to incorporate the French striker in the reopening of the window, conditioned on the player's full physical recovery from the injury suffered in preseason.

**Arsenal's summer investment does not meet Mikel Arteta's demands**

The **Arsenal** hierarchy completed an investment of **227 million euros** during the recently concluded summer of **2026**. The British entity finalized the signings of Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapié, Bruno Guimarães, and Christos Tzolis, in addition to adding goalkeeper Illan Meslier as a free agent after finishing his contract with Leeds United.

Despite this outlay in the midfield and defense, the Basque coach conveyed to the technical department the need to incorporate an offensive reference for the attacking line. After failing to secure a striker before the summer deadline, the board will advance negotiations in the fall to expedite talks before January.

**The terms of Eli Junior Kroupi's transfer with Bournemouth**

Kroupi is under contract with **Bournemouth** until **June 2030** after scoring **13 goals** in **35 official matches** during the previous Premier League season. The London club decided not to make a formal offer in August due to the striker's physical condition, preferring to monitor his rehabilitation process at the Magpies' facilities down south.

**Arsenal**'s board believes that the **20-year-old** Frenchman fits into the rotation of the first team to compete in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. If the forward regains playing time in the domestic competition before December, the Gunners' hierarchy will present a formal economic proposal to finalize his transfer.

**Arsenal**'s medical staff will oversee Kroupi's physical progress during the months of October and November 2026. Mikel Arteta and the board will hold an executive meeting in mid-December to set the figure of the first formal proposal they will send to Bournemouth's offices before January 1, 2027.
