The Frenchman is versatile, capable of playing in attacking midfield, on the left, and as a centre-forward, making him a manager\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is worth noting that Kroupi has never featured on the left in the Premier League. His exploits have certainly caught the attention of Tottenham and several other clubs in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been credited with interest in the 20-year-old. Tottenham, however, are the most advanced in their pursuit, with reports stating Spurs are readying a mammoth bid for Eli Junior Kroupi in the region of \u00a385m to test Bournemouth\u2019s resolve.<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth are expected to demand over \u00a380m for the Spurs target.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tottenham-reignite-interest-in-savinho\">Tottenham reignite interest in Savinho<\/h2>\n<p>The Manchester City man has long been on Tottenham\u2019s radar, with interest dating back to last summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Spurs were willing to pay \u00a370m to land Savinho, but City were reluctant to sell, with Pep Guardiola eventually convincing the Brazilian to stay at the Etihad.<\/p>\n<p>However, with Guardiola gone, Spurs have reignited their interest. This time he is said to be available for \u00a310m less, with reports valuing Savinho at \u00a360m.<\/p>\n<p>Reports last week named Savinho as Spurs\u2019 primary wing target, with claims that preliminary talks have begun between City and Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are also said to be in the mix. Savinho himself appears keen on a move to Tottenham, dropping hints on social media about his liking for the club.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rafael-leao-emerges-as-experienced-option\">Rafael Leao emerges as experienced option<\/h2>\n<p>Leao is the oldest of the wide forwards linked with Tottenham, with the Portuguese international currently 27 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Signing him would align with Tottenham\u2019s recent transfer strategy, which has focused on bringing in players with experience.<\/p>\n<p>Leao is said to have a huge release clause of \u00a3150m, although reports suggest he could be available for as little as \u00a342.7m, with AC Milan willing to part ways with the forward.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs have broached Leao as an option in informal discussions with Milan, while it is claimed the player is open to joining Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>However, his agent has been busy sounding out many top clubs around Europe, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona, who have long admired him.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antonio-nusa-impresses-at-world-cup\">Antonio Nusa impresses at World Cup<\/h2>\n<p>Nusa is another name recently linked with Tottenham this summer, though fans will recall he has been on Spurs\u2019 radar before.<\/p>\n<p>The left winger is currently on international duty with Norway at the World Cup and has enjoyed a strong campaign, with Norway set to face England in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham have rekindled their interest following his impressive World Cup performances, where he has scored once and looked threatening out wide with his directness.<\/p>\n<p>RB Leipzig have shown interest, but no concrete approach has been made for Nusa so far this summer, with Spurs yet to decide whether to substantiate their interest.<\/p>\n<p>Other clubs remain in the mix, including Juventus, Bayern Munich, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crysencio-summerville-linked-with-spurs-move\">Crysencio Summerville linked with Spurs move<\/h2>\n<p>Another left-wing option on Spurs\u2019 radar is Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United. While the two sides are rivals, Tottenham have already shopped from the Hammers twice, paying them a total of \u00a3140m in the space of a year.<\/p>\n<p>That figure could rise with Summerville again on their radar. The winger is said to be valued at \u00a343m.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs face stiff competition from Manchester United, who are also keen on Summerville. United are reported to have opened talks over signing him, while Fulham see Summerville as a potential replacement for the departed Harry Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>Summerville, however, is not expected to cost much due to a relegation clause in his contract, which allows him to leave for \u00a340m despite having a \u00a370m release clause. He represents a cheaper option for Spurs in their chase for more left-wing additions.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/subscribe\/\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"article-feedback\">\n<div class=\"info\"> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\"> <path fill=\"#EC1B23\" d=\"M27.167 5.194c.261-.124.444-.325.75-.403-1.331-1.581-3.131-2.651-5.114-3.196-1.88-.517-4.161-.765-6.074-.262-1.756.461-3.144 1.672-4.802 2.352-2.104.862-4.426.657-6.531-.104.48 4.57.969 9.13 1.498 13.651 1.279.743 2.629.96 4.079.712 1.594-.273 3.005-1.037 4.47-1.677 1.684-.737 3.42-1.106 5.263-.953 2.008.167 3.886.889 5.715 1.689 1-1.933.535-4.317.117-6.342-.369-1.788-1.136-4.145.629-5.467.261-.124-.241.181 0 0z\"\/> <path d=\"M8.045 27.831c.098.865.627 3.145-.403 3.11-.497-.016-.622-.631-.692-1.325-.88-8.808-2.006-17.214-2.822-25.862-.043-.456-.205-1.421.519-1.44.665-.017.749 1.267.749 1.267s2.242 20.663 2.649 24.25z\"\/><\/svg> <span>Have something to tell us about this article?<\/span> <span><button class=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location.href=\" http:=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Feedback\">Let us know<\/button><\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add as preferred source on Google With Tottenham set to turn their attention to the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15241,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
