Kroupi has an eye for a goal, zero doubts about that. The way he finishes, the way he hits the ball, reminds me of Jermain Defoe. As he hits it the ball goes up and dips down before it goes in, very Defoe.
The thing with Bournemouth is that they know if he is on the bench, they don’t have his goals on the field, so they are trying to find a shape that works.
Iraola has spoken about how good he is defensively, his work rate, but ultimately you want him in the box. You put that ball in there to him and it’s going to be a goal.
