He is fast, versatile, confident in front of goal and can play as a striker or on the left.<\/p>\n<p>That flexibility makes him valuable to Arsenal, especially as Mikel Arteta seeks more depth and unpredictability in attack.<\/p>\n<p>But Bournemouth are not hopeless sellers.

Bournemouth&#8217;s asking price could rise even further if all three major clubs force their way.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal should remain in the race, but only if the deal makes economic sense.<\/p>\n<p>Crupi has the potential to be a star, but at this price the Gunners need to be completely confident he is ready to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n<p>Crupi has been hailed as a &#8220;generational&#8221; talent.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Arsenal eye \u20ac90m Spaniard as Arteta looks for attacking depth <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal are set to take on Tottenham with the signing of Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Crupi, setting up a fascinating north London transfer battle for one of the Premier League&#8217;s most exciting young attackers.According to Football London, Crupi is one of Spurs&#8217; priority attacking targets this summer as Roberto De Zerbi&#8217;s side continue their aggressive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-49642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportsdaily.news\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
