Bournemouth wants to keep the striker and values him at well over $100M."Junior has been a big challenge for me this season; one of the biggest challenges because we noticed straightaway that he has special things," Iraola said in April."His finishing is top for me. But we had to work a lot with him and, especially, he has had to do a lot of work that he wasn’t used to (in order to) win his minutes."He has become a much better player for me.



I know he had a good start and scored goals, but I try not to talk to him about goals because this is something that is natural and he will always have it.Eli Junior Kroupi is wanted by several clubs across Europe(Image: Photo by Eddie Keogh/Getty Images)"So, I have tried to make him focus on other parts and he has improved a lot. In the past month, he has allowed us to put out a very offensive line-up because he is giving us the work rate so we can keep it all together and not suffer defensively too much."He’s still very young and has just arrived into the Premier League and it’s his first season.

For sure, I think he will play even more minutes next season and will continue evolving."He has a high ceiling but I think this is the best place for him to continue his evolution."That kind of message will be something conveyed to Liverpool players next term. He is the same age and has one top season under his belt, but is already being talked about as a $150 million (£112 million) player.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCAndoni IraolaTransfers
