Meanwhile, Kroupi is working hard to get back to fitness and is targeting a return to the pitch in early November.

Mikel Arteta’s side remain in the market for a new forward, with Kroupi understood to be among the names on their shortlist.

However, Bournemouth have no intention of selling their French wonderkid.

It is claimed the Cherries would only consider offloading Kroupi for a club-record fee, with previous reports suggesting they want at least £80m.

Kroupi’s current deal at the Vitality Stadium runs until the summer of 2030.
