EPL: Good signing, Arteta will make him better – Ray Parlour on Kroupi

Former Arsenal star, Ray Parlour, believes Bournemouth striker, Eli Junior Kroupi would be a ‘good signing’ for the Gunners.

According to Parlour, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will make Kroupi better if he eventually joins the Premier League North London club.

Kroupi has been a top transfer target for Arsenal this summer after he enjoyed a superb first season in the Premier League following his move from French side Lorient.

Speaking about the 19-year-old, Parlour told The Mirror, “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 is keen to bolster Arteta’s squad this summer after it failed to win the UEFA Champions League last season.
