Barcelona another club interested in Kroupi this summer
Latest from Your Site News' Lyall Thomas:
Barcelona are another club interested in signing Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi this summer.
Bournemouth, however, are not looking to sell Kroupi in the next window.
Your Site News exclusively revealed last month that he is on the radar of Manchester City and a number of other Premier League clubs.
He has also been tracked extensively by Barcelona this season and they see him as a prospect for the long-term.
One person who is not surprised by the 19-year-old's rise is Thierry Henry, having tried to call him up to France's U21s when he was only 16.
"I'm not surprised," Henry said on Monday Night Football.
"I thought of taking him when he was only 16 with the U21s. That didn't go down too well at the time because he hadn't played with the U17s, the U18s, the U19s.
"But when you see someone who has that raw talent and desire, age doesn't matter.
"He has been proving that he's a great goalscorer, very Jermain Defoe-like when he's in the box. He can play on the right, on the left. He has an eye for a goal and a he has a good future."
The current France U21 international has scored 12 Premier League goals this season since joining from Lorient last summer.
Barca will be in the market for strikers in the upcoming window, with Robert Lewandowski leaving the club at the end of his contract.

Miami is said to be the city he and his family would like to live in the most - and the conditions are right at Inter after they acquired an international slot from New England Revolution.
