Offside goal in loss to City Kroupi recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Impact Kroupi had a goal ruled offside Sunday inside the opening minute, and forced a save from the keeper just after half-time with his only shot on target. Outside of that his impact was limited, making just 13 touches and five completed passes. The 19-year-old's impressive EPL debut season has seen him find the net three times in the Cherries last two matches, which earned him this game's starting striker spot over a fit Evanilson. It's unclear whether he will remain a starter going forward, but he will make frequent appearances and inevitably build on his current tally of four goals.

Fourth goal in three matches Kroupi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Kroupi sealed the result for AFC Bournemouth Sunday with a superb strike from around 25 yards, giving him his fourth goal of the season and marking his third consecutive match finding the net. He also had another attempt blocked and was subbed after 69 minutes. The young striker has been getting starts while Evanilson recovers from a calf injury. The Brazilian is expected back imminently when Kroupi will likely be relegated back to the bench, but his sensational form will put pressure on the regular starter to maintain his spot.

Revealed: Bournemouth rejected £50m bids from Tottenham and Man Utd for Antoine Semenyo in January

Bags two in first EPL start Kroupi scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Kroupi got his first EPL start Saturday replacing the injured Evanilson as the Cherries lead striker. He delivered a standout performance, bagging a brace of goals before half-time. The 19-year-old is in sharp form, he scored twice for the French U21 team last week and found the net in his last Cherries appearance at the end of September. It is unlikely he will replace Evanilson as a regular starter but will likely join matches frequently from the bench with impactful outcomes.

First EPL goal from bench Eli Junior Kroupi scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.

Impact Kroupi came off the bench Saturday after 81 minutes and made an instant impact by scoring his first EPL goal, a clinical stoppage-time volley from a Marco Senesi flick that rescued Bournemouth a point. This was his third appearance of the season, all from the bench, but today's strike could mark a turning point that earns him some starts.

First Bournemouth start Kroupi started and played 65 minutes during Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Brentford.

Impact Kroupi made his first Bournemouth start in the Carabao Cup, playing 65 minutes before being brought off in a quiet performance. He failed to really accomplish much, and struggled with the physicality of the match. Kroupi is still young with plenty of potential to grow, but isn't likely to play a major role for Bournemouth during his first season with the club.

Announces departure from Lorient Kroupi announced on his Instagram his departure from Lorient after a prolific season in Ligue 2 that saw the Merlus win the title.

Impact Kroupi will cross the Manche to join Bournemouth after finishing his time with Lorient. The French forward signed with Bournemouth during the winter transfer window but stayed on loan with the Merlus and ended the season as the league's top scorer with 22 goals and champion. He will now link up with Bournemouth and will look to earn a place in next year's squad to showcase his talent and potential in the Premier League.
