Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to test Bournemouth’s resolve with an £85million bid for French forward Eli Junior Kroupi, according to Talksport, despite the Cherries insisting the 20-year-old is not for sale. The report is part of Tuesday’s round-up of transfer gossip from around the football world.

Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid are said to be considering former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah as a possible replacement for Antoine Griezmann. The Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that the 33-year-old, currently on World Cup duty with Egypt, could be an option for Diego Simeone’s side.

Liverpool have also been linked with reinforcements in attack, joining Chelsea and Manchester United in the chase for West Ham’s Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, according to Caught Offside. The 24-year-old has attracted interest from across the top flight.
