Spurs target Kroupi out for 3-4 months with foot injury

Tottenham Hotspur faces a setback in its summer transfer strategy. Eli Junior Kroupi, the Bournemouth attacker and a key target for the club, suffered a metatarsal injury during preseason training. Reports indicate he will remain sidelined for three to four months.

This injury complicates the plans for both Tottenham and other teams interested in his services. While the club held a lead in pursuit of the player, this long-term recovery window forces a shift in recruitment priorities. Observers now expect the team to redirect interest toward alternative targets like Cody Gakpo for the remainder of the transfer window.

For Bournemouth, the news is a significant blow. The side counted on Kroupi to build upon a successful sixth-place finish last season. The injury timeline likely means interest from major clubs will pause until his return to regular fitness in the winter or next summer. The focus in North London now moves to how the management adjusts its roster strategy following this loss.
