Arsenal are reportedly targeting Bournemouth midfielder Eli Junior Kroupi following his contribution to the Gunners' Premier League title victory, with the north London club poised for a summer of significant investment.

Kroupi catches Arsenal's eye

According to the Metro, Kroupi — whose goal played a part in Arsenal edging Manchester City to the title — has emerged as a genuine transfer target for the newly crowned champions. The Bournemouth star's performances across the season appear to have convinced Arsenal's hierarchy that he is worth pursuing.

Arteta in line for bumper deal

The title triumph is also set to deliver a financial windfall for manager Mikel Arteta. The Sun reports that Arsenal will hand Arteta a lucrative new contract that would rank him among the world's highest-paid managers, ending the wait for what would be a long-overdue renewal after he delivered the club's first league title in 22 years.

Alongside personal terms, The Express suggests Arteta will be handed a substantial transfer budget this summer, giving him the resources to build on Arsenal's title-winning squad.

Barcola interest maintained

Arsenal's pursuit of PSG winger Bradley Barcola is also said to be ongoing. L'Equipe reports the Gunners retain their interest in the Frenchman, with Liverpool's attention apparently shifting away from Barcola following the emergence of Rio Ngumoha.

Elsewhere in the Premier League

Incoming Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has wasted no time settling in, with The Athletic reporting he is already working closely behind the scenes with director of football Hugo Viana ahead of next season. Meanwhile, The I Paper claims a deal to bring Elliot Anderson to City is well advanced, with sources inside the club insisting that Pep Guardiola's departure will not derail the transfer.

Manchester United could enter the race for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles, according to The Express, with the club reportedly looking to take advantage of the Saints' ongoing 'Spygate' scandal.

Rashford handed lifeline at Barcelona

Marcus Rashford's loan spell at Barcelona may not be over. Spanish radio station COPE reports that manager Hansi Flick has told Rashford he wants him to remain at the club, with the final decision now resting with Barcelona's board as they weigh up a permanent deal with Manchester United.

World Cup and MLS

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been narrowly tipped to earn a place in England's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, per The Express, despite his high-profile move away from Liverpool. In MLS, Inter Miami are reported by talkSPORT to be closing in on a free transfer for former Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.
