Top European Clubs Line Up for France's Next 'Mbappe'!
RB Leipzig and other major European clubs are expressing interest in 18-year-old French striker Eli Junior Kroupi, who is drawing comparisons to Kylian Mbappe.
RB Leipzig is reportedly keen on signing Eli Junior Kroupi, the 18-year-old striker from Lorient, who has been dubbed the 'next Kylian Mbappe' due to his impressive performances in France's Ligue 2. While no formal negotiations have taken place, discussions are expected to commence in January.
Kroupi, representing France's U-19 national team, has recorded 13 goals and 4 assists in 45 official matches, including 7 goals in 12 appearances this season. His former teammate, Tiémoué Bakayoko, praised him as a phenomenon, noting his maturity and speed reminiscent of Mbappe.
Leipzig's interest in Kroupi may be influenced by the potential departure of forward Andre Silva, who has been linked with a move to Spain. Should Silva exit, Leipzig might expedite their pursuit of Kroupi to bolster their attacking options.
