BREAKING NEWS;Tottenham £20m offer for French sensation could be accepted

Tottenham are weighing up a potential move for Lorient striker Eli Junior Kroupi, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Ligue 2 outfit would “consider selling him for the right price.”

£20million is believed to be a fee that Lorient are willing to accept for his services in the January transfer window.

However, well-placed sources revealed to Football Insider that Tottenham cannot afford that type of move for a signing that would be seen as for the future.

The 18-year-old is enjoying a breakout year this season for Lorient, with his performances helping them to the top of Ligue 2.

However, it is unknown if he would come into the club and make the immediate impact that Ange Postecoglou needs from a potential January signing with the club currently 16th in the Premier League table.

Tottenham face competition to sign Eli Junior Kroupi

Spurs are not the only club interested in signing Kroupi as he is currently regarded as one of the brightest young talents coming out of France.

RB Leipzig have been “very keen” on signing him during this transfer window while Bournemouth are also in the market for a striker.

Football Insider also exclusively revealed that West Ham have submitted an offer to sign Kroupi as Graham Potter looks to strengthen his attacking options.

The teenage sensation is under contract with Lorient until 2026, which could lead to the French outfit looking to cash in on him.

The striker has scored nine goals and provided two assists in 17 Ligue 2 appearances this season.
