Arsenal are ready to enter the race to beat Tottenham to one of Spurs’ top targets for the summer transfer window.
The Gunners might not have been expecting to be in a similar market to Tottenham in the summer transfer window after the difference between their two seasons.
Arsenal lifted the Premier League title and reached the Champions League final, while Spurs finished in 17th position in the top flight.
Despite that, Tottenham have been incredibly ambitious with their recruitment, already confirming five signings in the Summer Transfer window.
The North London club don’t appear to be finished there either, competing with the likes of Arsenal for some key additions over the next few weeks.
Players seem willing to sacrifice playing European football to join Tottenham, but it’ll be interesting to see if Spurs can beat Arsenal in a head-to-head race.
Arsenal in Race for Tottenham Target
According to a report from Football London, Tottenham are targeting a move to sign Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi in the summer transfer window.
It’s claimed that the 20-year-old could cost in the region of £80m after scoring 13 goals in the Premier League last season.
Kroupi is at the top of Tottenham’s shortlist, but they do face competition for his signature.
Tottenham will now have to face competition from the North London rivals Arsenal, alongside French outfit Paris Saint-Germain.
Bournemouth are reluctant to lose Kroupi this summer, hence why they’ve slapped an £80m asking price on his head.
Whether Spurs or Arsenal will be willing to pay that remains to be seen, but the former have certainly not been afraid to splash the cash this summer.
