From the source

Tom Canton reports for Football.London that Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Eli Junior Kroupi’s return from injury, but Bournemouth’s position remains firm that he’s not for sale.

Canton adds that Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are all in for Kroupi as well, and there’s reportedly a feeling that Arsenal probably wouldn’t spend as much as PSG would.

But the Gunners are set to look to improve their attack in the January window, and Kroupi is evidently on the shortlist of names of players they’d ideally like to recruit.
