British pundit and former Arsenal midfielder, Ray Parlour, has suggested that Bournemouth striker, Eli Junior Kroupi, would be a “good signing” for his former side.
The Gunners legend made this known recently while discussing the 19-year-old with The Mirror.
Kroupi, who has enjoyed a superb first season in the Premier League following his move from French side Lorient, has been a top transfer target for Arsenal this summer.

Discussing his possible move to the Emirates, Parlour suggested the Frenchman will be a good acquisition for the Premier League champions.
He also argued that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will make Kroupi better if he eventually joins the North London club.
He said, “Kroupi’s a very good, talented player, there’s no doubt about that. He’s a young player, and you know Mikel Arteta can make players even better when they are young, so that would be a good signing.”
Arsenal, who won the league for the first time in 22 years during the 2025/2026 season, are keen to bolster their squad this summer after failing to win the UEFA Champions League trophy.
