French talent Kroupi ready to suffer to realise EPL dream

Bournemouth starlet Eli Junior Kroupi may have already put a difficult start to Premier League life behind him, but the 19-year-old told AFP he knows that he will have to “work hard” to make a success of his time in England.

The Brittany-born, childhood Liverpool fan made his Bournemouth debut on a season-opening trip to Anfield for a clash with the champions in August.

“I was like a kid living in a dream,” Kroupi said. “It was really wonderful for me, and for my parents too.”

He played just one minute as a substitute. After manager Andoni Iraola gave the teenager a paltry 11 minutes in total over the next four league matches, Kroupi said that he “even thought about leaving”.

A conversation with his father -- ex-Ivory Coast international Eli Kroupi -- convinced the teenager to dig in to realise his dream.
