Level with Yamal, likened to Mbappe - Kroupi flourishing at Bournemouth
"Andoni Iraola's side had yet to register a shot on target against the Premier League's bottom side when Kroupi controlled Amine Adli's flick on the edge of the Wolves penalty area with 12 minutes of the first half remaining. Moments later goalkeeper Jose Sa was picking the ball out of his net after being beaten by Kroupi's thunderous, looping strike, which looked set to be the game's only goal until Alex Scott doubled Bournemouth's advantage in stoppage time."
"The last Frenchman to score as often in an English top-flight season before his 20th birthday was Arsenal's Nicolas Anelka, who struck 13 times for Arsene Wenger's Gunners in 1998-99. Kroupi, who does not turn 20 until June, needs only two more goals to hit double figures - a tally reached by only 10 teenagers in Premier League history."
Bournemouth beat Wolves with a Kroupi thunderous looping strike and a stoppage-time finish from Alex Scott. Kroupi controlled Amine Adli's flick before his long-range effort beat goalkeeper Jose Sa. The goal was Kroupi's eighth league strike of the season, placing him level with Lamine Yamal as the highest-scoring teenager across Europe's top five leagues in 2025-26. Kroupi remains two goals short of a double-digit tally that only ten teenagers in Premier League history have reached. He has scored eight goals in ten starts and receives praise for his quality on the ball and work-rate.
