Julian Alvarez and Victor Osimhen are targets on that front.<\/p>\n<p>Martinelli\u2019s exit would of course leave Arteta one man light on the flanks, and on the left side in particular.<\/p>\n<p>And if Arsenal\u2019s games against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/bournemouth\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bournemouth<\/a> this season are anything to go by, they need look no further than the Cherries.<\/p>\n<p>The latest from<a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/football\/4218061\/transfer-news-arsenal-premier-league-championship-poty-man-utd-crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\"> talkSPORT<\/a> claims Arsenal are targeting a move for the ultra-impressive Eli Junior Kroupi, who has split time between the left wing and striker positions this term.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old is already scoring for fun with France\u2019s Under-21s, and he\u2019s made an instant impact in the Premier League too.<\/p>\n<p>Kroupi has scored both home and away against the Gunners this season. His most recent goal against Arsenal was a costly one for Arteta\u2019s side, with Bournemouth beating Arsenal 2-1 on April 11.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Kroupi\u2019s mark of 11 goals this term has made him just the fourth teenager to score double figure goals in their first season in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>The only other players to achieve that rare feat are Robbie Fowler (Liverpool \u2013 1993\/94), Kevin Gallen (QPR \u2013 1994\/95) and Robbie Keane (Coventry City \u2013 1999\/00).<\/p>\n<p>In any case, Kroupi\u2019s exploits this term, and specifically when playing and scoring against Arsenal, have reportedly wowed Arteta.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?

Further strengthening their hand is the fact Kroupi is contracted until 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Prior reports have suggested Bournemouth now value Kroupi \u2013 who they signed for just \u00a310m from Lorient \u2013 at a much loftier figure in the \u00a360m-\u00a370m range.<\/p>\n<p>But when you\u2019re ripping Premier League defences to shreds and breaking records while still a teenager, gigantic price hikes are to be expected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">DON\u2019T MISS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/arsenal\/arsenal-julian-alvarez-100-million-euro-offer-atletico-madrid\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal believe \u20ac100m bid for \u2018extraordinary\u2019 star will \u2018displace\u2019 Real Madrid \u2018interest\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal are targeting a move for a Premier League winger who became the newest player to achieve a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[109016,3361,64,63,39772,596,585,8316,1614,85,968],"class_list":["post-644167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-all-the-news","tag-arsenal","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bournemouth","tag-football","tag-front-page","tag-mikel-arteta","tag-premier-league","tag-sports","tag-transfer-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
