Bournemouth striker Junior Krupi is poised to return to action in the first week of November, bringing much-needed relief for manager Marco Rose in his quest for that elusive first win this season.
The 20-year-old has been recovering from a foot operation he underwent after sustaining an injury during pre-season preparations. This setback not only hindered his early season prospects but also dashed a potential summer move, with both Arsenal and Tottenham, along with French giants PSG, reportedly interested in the young forward.
According to SunSport, Bournemouth's hierarchy is willing to part ways with their star player but only for a club record fee.
In a significant international decision, Krupi has turned down the chance to represent Portugal, choosing instead to don the colours of the French national team under the guidance of Zinedine Zidane.
Last season, he burst onto the Premier League scene, netting 13 goals and setting new benchmarks for scoring at a young age, previously held by legends Robbie Fowler and Robbie Keane.
His recovery timeline looks promising, allowing him to regain peak form while Bournemouth navigates a busy schedule of domestic and European fixtures.
