Arsenal's pursuit of Eli Junior Kroupi has received a significant boost after Paris Saint-Germain dropped out of the race for the young forward, according to reports (1). With PSG, who beat your team on penalties in the Champions League final, no longer in contention, the path to securing Kroupi has cleared considerably. Arsenal have already presented their project to the player, whose profile fits the long-term attacking build Arteta is shaping. After coming agonizingly close in Budapest and finishing top of the Premier League, landing a prospect of Kroupi's calibre would signal intent to go again.
Fan reactions
The Kroupi news has been largely overshadowed by discussion of a separate PSG-related transfer story involving 18-year-old defender Emmanuel Mbemba, whose contract is up this summer and who Arsenal have reportedly approached. That thread has drawn more attention and debate among supporters than Kroupi himself. Meanwhile, a post celebrating Martinelli clocking the third-highest top speed in the Premier League last season has fans buzzing about the Brazilian's pace, and a new Saka documentary released this week has also caught the eye on the subreddit.
