Standard reports that Arsenal have been linked with a move for Eli Junior Kroupi as clubs across the Premier League prepare for the January transfer window. The story, published on 3 October 2026, also notes ongoing rumours around Erling Haaland, Endrick and other high‑profile targets.

What happened

The article outlines a series of transfer rumours that have emerged after the summer window closed. Arsenal are said to be pursuing Kroupi, while Manchester United are reportedly boosting their squad with Endrick. Julian Alvarez remains a priority signing for the Gunners, but a “significant development” in that pursuit is mentioned without detail. Elsewhere, Bournemouth have taken a stance on a deal for Kroupi, and Chelsea have signed former Tottenham youngster Leo Black but may lose Lamine Camara to Liverpool.

What the reports add

Standard adds that Haaland is unlikely to join Arsenal because of Manchester City’s financial case and that the striker prefers Barcelona, which is weighing options for Chelsea forward Estevao. The report also says Manchester United plan to extend left‑back Harry Amass’s contract while still monitoring Alejandro Balde. Tottenham have promoted Lucas Williams‑Barnett to the senior squad and are considering targets for the January window.
