Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi has been nominated for the Men's Young Talent of the Year award ahead of the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony.

The 20-year-old is one of three Premier League players to be named in the 10-player shortlist, alongside Manchester City's Ayyoub Bouaddi and Aston Villa's Johan Manzambi.

After making his Bournemouth debut in August 2025, Kroupi made 35 appearances and scored 13 goals across all competitions last season.

He also ended the 2025-26 campaign having scored more goals than any other teenager in their debut Premier League season.

However, he is yet to feature this season after sustaining a foot injury in pre-season and undergoing surgery. He is expected to return to action in October or November.

The Men's Young Talent of the Year award will be one of the honours presented at the 70th Ballon d'Or ceremony in London on Monday, 26 October.

Bournemouth forward Daniel Jebbison says he is "ready" to make an impact whenever he is given the nod by Marco Rose this season.

Jebbison has completed two loan spells at Championship outfits Watford and Preston North End in recent seasons and is hopeful those experiences will now help him "establish" himself with the Cherries.

"I'm ready and I'm patient," Jebbison said. "I'll get my chance and every minute I get, every second or whatever, I'll work my hardest so that's what I'm trying to do, just take it day-by-day.

"I sometimes forget I'm only 23, and I just feel in my body that I can help the team this season. I've had my experience now and I'm here and ready to try and establish myself here.

"I just need to be good at what I do. Obviously there's competition, I love competition, it's OK and that will only help me thrive and hopefully it thrives the other boys too."

The 23-year-old could play in Tuesday's Carabao Cup third round match against Lincoln.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Newcastle United and Bournemouth.

Here are some of your comments:

Newcastle fans

Jack: Thought Bournemouth's Premier League experience did them wonders. Kept the ball and managed the time in the game well, while our inexperience led to unnecessary challenges and a wastefulness with the ball. Spirit was there, and we can definitely score goals... I think once the experience catches up, we'll be a very decent outfit.

Sam: I thought Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw were very poor. Lewis Miley had a rare bad game and Nico Gonzalez was neutralised. Harvey Barnes was doing Harvey Barnes things as always, but excited by Matias Fernandez-Pardo's 30-minute cameo.

Mickey: Last season, if we went one goal down we would struggle to get even a draw. It's a different mentality this season. Our defence needs to tighten up, and with some of our injured players coming back, we'll do OK this season. This draw wasn't our best performance, but we're still unbeaten.

Mark: Considering we have several new players and Bournemouth are a very decent team, I'm happy with a draw so early in the season. Better to come, I'm sure. Up the Toon.

Bournemouth fans

Paul: They are conceding late goals because the intensity of their first-half pressing leaves them exhausted and dropping deeper towards the end of the second half. Both their goals were from freak deflections.

Mike: Oh dear. Marco Rose's "tactics" have now cost us seven points - so sorry for the players. Early in the season but must, regrettably, seriously consider change before it is too late.

Terry: Poor again. Best team in the league first half, worst in second. Poor subs and made too late. Where are the new players? Will they get their chance on Tuesday, or are we going out to a low-level team again? Bubble has burst. Is this what we've got to look forward to? Not confident in the team, but basically the same one as last season. After 59 years as a supporter, I will always be a Cherry. Come on, you Reds.

Jeff: Once again, we didn't score enough when dominating. Rayan is wasted out on the wing when he should be playing through the middle with Evanilson. Surely it's time for him and Justin Kluivert to switch positions?

Bournemouth's early-season habit of allowing leads to slip away is "something we can definitely fix", says midfielder Marcus Tavernier.

The Cherries led 2-0 at Newcastle United on Saturday but were pegged back to 2-2, making it seven points dropped from winning positions in the first three games of the season and Marco Rose's reign.

"The dressing room feels deflated in every aspect," Tavernier told BBC Radio Solent.

"It's the same thing as happened last week. We dug in for the majority of the game and have been the better team, but in the second half they came out on top and I don't think we got things going in the way we wanted.

"We defended well for the majority of it but one little mistake lets them back into the game and its 2-2.

"It's something we can definitely fix. It's something we are not shy of knowing we need to improve on. It is another learning curve in that aspect but we cannot dwell in it. There are a lot of positives to take but, at the end of the day, we've only come away with one point when we should have had all three."

Tavernier scored the opener but was withdrawn late for forward Daniel Jebbison, who shared in his annoyance.

"We are all frustrated," Jebbison added.

"It's disappointing but we know what to do to get better and we will train on it throughout the week and be better for the next one.

"It's a lack of focus and doing those little annoying parts of your job that you have to do. The manager is very positive. He is disappointed as well but he expects a lot from us, as he should. He's going to be honest."

Bournemouth starting XI:

Djordje Petrovic: Little he could do for Harvey Barnes' goal, but otherwise a relatively comfortable afternoon. 6

Adam Smith: Played a role in Marcus Tavernier's opener by nudging the ball to Alex Scott in the build-up. Tested on one or two moments defensively, but still showing his value at 35. 6

James Hill: Solid. Has already become a very important player for manager Marco Rose. 6

Antonio Silva: Took a nasty blow to the head from Anthony Elanga's shoulder, but the summer signing shook it off. 6

Adrien Truffert: Coped expertly with the in-form Elanga and caused Amar Dedic real problems going the other way. 7

Tyler Adams: First competitive start under Marco Rose. Could have got closer to Barnes for Newcastle's goal, but hard to see him coming out of the side after this display. 7

Alex Scott: So influential. Played a key role in both of his side's goals. Passing and vision stood out throughout. 8

Rayan: Not as effective as he was in the corresponding fixture last season. Rose was roaring at him at one stage. 5

Marcus Tavernier: Showed great anticipation to put the visitors in front. He's now scored in each of his past three trips to St James' Park. Could have netted a couple on this visit. 7

Justin Kluivert: Helped set up Bournemouth's crucial second goal after boldly letting fly from 35 yards out. Always a handful. 7

Evanilson: Had a real battle with Sven Botman. Missed a couple of decent chances but worked hard throughout. 6

Bournemouth substitutes:

Lewis Cook (on 74, Adams): 6

David Brooks (on 74, Kluivert): 6

Subs not used:

Michele Di Gregorio, Julio Soler, Ryan Christie, Ben Gannon-Doak, Bafode Diakite, Juanlu Sanchez, Daniel Jebbison

New Bournemouth boss Marco Rose had just finished giving high fives to his staff on the bench when Newcastle pulled a goal back - scoring 101 seconds after Thiaw's own goal.

He could not really be blamed for the gesture given the impressive performance he had coaxed out of his players in the first half.

Rose's side had outfoxed and outplayed Newcastle for the majority of the opening period with an intelligent display.

They managed a staggering 13 shots in the first half - five on target - and should really have been out of sight after a purple patch in which they created clear-cut opportunities.

Evanilson fired over from a good position after Botman gave the ball away, while a slick counterattack culminated in a tame finish by Tavernier.

The second-half slugfest curtailed the spectacle, and their intent, and up in the Gods where the away fans are housed at St James' Park there was doubtless a nagging feeling as the clock ticked into the final 10 minutes.

Having conceded three goals after the 84th minute in their opening two games it felt inevitable that an equaliser would come as Newcastle piled on the pressure and Ramsey duly delivered it.

Bournemouth have now lost seven points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other team.

Rose quickly needs to get to the bottom of why his side are letting them in so late.

Bournemouth manager Marco Rose, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It is what it is. We started really well. We played a top first half. Our pressing was impressive. The opponents had no solutions. We scored two goals and had more chances. Then we conceded in pretty much with the first chance for the opponents.

"In the second half, we dropped a bit in everything. Even we didn't get real trouble in our box but we conceded again a late goal. This is disappointing but I'm really happy with the confidence the lads came here today to take the three points. At the end, we have to work on the things we need to improve. And that's what we will do in the coming days.

"We knew that it's going to be intense against Newcastle. We defended Anthony Elanga really well. We did all that but in the end, if you are 2-0 up and you have the chance to score a third goal, you should do it or you have to defend your goal better than we did."

On conceding late again: "I try my best. Even the lads. It's not with intention to do it. Sometimes you have phases where things like these happen. We should go for our first win the Premier League to calm down this kind of talks.

"Regarding the points, I am not happy. We just have two now. It's about results in this level. But performance wise, I see a lot of good things."

BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Saturday's match (12:30 BST), with Newcastle seeking back-to-back league wins and Bournemouth boss Marco Rose awaiting his first victory.

Magpies seek to end Bournemouth hoodoo

Matthias Jaissle earned his first top-flight win as Newcastle boss against Tottenham last weekend and could easily already have two victories under his belt, with only an injury-time equaliser from Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai denying the Magpies on the opening weekend.

Nonetheless, his tally of four points from his first two top-flight games represents the best start by a Newcastle manager for 19 years and beating Bournemouth would take his team top of the embryonic league table - for a few hours at least.

At Thursday's pre-match news conference, Jaissle was keen to stress that his side have one of the youngest squads in the Premier League and insisted the club are "realistic" about what can be achieved while in a "transition phase".

If they are to maintain their early momentum, the Magpies will have to improve their surprisingly poor recent record in this fixture. They have failed to win any of their past eight league matches against Bournemouth and have lost the past two such meetings at St James' Park.

Excluding cup competitions, their most recent victory against the Cherries came on Tyneside in July 2020, when the Cherries were managed by Eddie Howe.

Late goals costly for draw specialists Bournemouth

Like Newcastle, Bournemouth conceded an injury-time equaliser against Merseyside opposition in their first home game of the season. James Tarkowski's late strike for Everton denied Rose a first win last weekend, with the German bemoaning "slapstick" defending from a corner.

Rose's side also led until the 84th minute in his opening game against Manchester City but eventually lost 2-1, meaning they have already dropped five points from winning positions.

Failing to hold on to leads has been a recurring theme for the Cherries. They have surrendered 27 points after going in front since the start of last season - a tally exceeded only by Newcastle.

That tendency to let victories slip away also helps explain why, despite losing just once since early January, Bournemouth remain the Premier League's draw specialists.

They have drawn 19 top-flight fixtures since the start of last season, at least four more than any other club.

Newcastle have started the season superbly with four points, and it feels like they have changed the mood at St James' Park after a difficult summer.

There's no doom and gloom about the place despite them losing several key players and, after predicting they would lose their first two games, I feel differently about their prospects now.

Things can change very quickly of course and a home defeat by Bournemouth would see a lot of that optimism disappear. But, so far, I've been really impressed by Anthony Elanga, and Yoane Wissa looks like he has got his confidence back.

I like the way new manager Matthias Jaissle has set them up to hit teams on the counter-attack, and Nico Gonzalez looks like a sensible signing too.

I called Newcastle "a development club" before their first game, because of the type of players they have bought and sold this summer, but while their midfield is quite youthful, they have now got Nico in there to give them a bit of extra clout.

This is still a tricky game to call, however.

Bournemouth haven't won yet, but only because they have let leads slip away late on, first against Manchester City and then at home to Everton.

Cherries boss Marco Rose is another manager who likes to play on the front foot and they are certainly capable of getting something here, even though I have gone for a home win.

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose will have to juggle his playing resources carefully when the Cherries embark upon their first season in Europe, starting at Real Sociedad on 17 September.

Uefa's deadline for clubs to submit squads for the league phase of the Europa League was midnight on Wednesday, with Europe's governing body revealing each club's squads on Thursday evening.

Because of the strict rules governing "club-trained" and "association-trained" players, the Cherries have only been able to register 21 first-team players in "List A" rather than 25.

And that has meant that several senior squad members - Julian Araujo, Ben Gannon-Doak, Fraser Forster, Juanlu Sanchez, Max Aarons, Daniel Jebbison and Veljko Milosavljevic - must sit out in Europe for now.

Eli Junior Kroupi and Amine Adli, currently sidelined with injury, are included so can feature in the league phase when fit.

However, Rose can bolster his matchday squad with any number of players from "List B" - those born on or after 1 January 2005, who have been eligible to play for the club for two consecutive years since their 15th birthday (or three consecutive years including a loan spell within the same association).

That should give players from the development squad, who have beaten Chelsea and Middlesbrough in Bournemouth's first two games in Premier League 2, some opportunities to shine on a bigger stage.

Europa League squad (List A): Djordje Petrovic, Adrien Truffert, Lewis Cook, James Hill, Julio Soler, David Brooks, Alex Scott, Evanilson, Ryan Christie, Tyler Adams, Antonio Silva, Adam Smith, Marcus Tavernier, Bafode Diakite, Justin Kluivert, Michele Di Gregorio, Amine Adli, Eli Junior Kroupi, Alex Toth, Alvaro Rodriguez, Rayan.

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Newcastle at St James' Park (kick-off 12:30 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Rose confirmed there are no new injury concerns going in to the weekend.

• He feels "it's a good sign" they kept hold of players like Alex Scott, Rayan and Junior Kroupi and he has to give "big thanks" to the owner for not selling them, adding: "We need these type of players."

• The Cherries boss said they "signed top players" in the summer transfer window and got the deals done early so he is "quite pleased with everything".

• On the start to the season in which they have earned one point in two games: "Disappointing, but I have to evaluate our performances and we were always close. It doesn't mean we're happy, but I'm convinced we're in a good place."

• On opponents Newcastle: "They are in a good spot, in a good shape. They are playing quite intense. They have clear patterns."

• He said it's "a chance to do things better" against the Magpies and finish the game stronger than they have in the opening two.

Premier League clubs have broke their all-time summer transfer record with spending reaching £3.49bn.

A total of £506.5m was spent on deadline day itself, up from £391m last year.

The total amount spent during the window considerably dwarfs the £1.13bn spent by clubs just five years ago and underlines the power top English clubs have to attract talent, according to figures provided to BBC Sport by Paul Macdonald, founder of FootballTransfers.com.

Three of the 10 most expensive signings in the history of football have happened this summer – with all of them being Premier League signings. In fact, this summer window featured four of the top flight's five most expensive ever deals.

So maybe it is not surprising then that of the 20 most expensive transfers completed, only six were not to clubs in the English top flight.

Indeed, newly-promoted Ipswich have spent more on new signings than the likes of Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and reigning European champions PSG.

Premier League clubs as a whole were willing to dip deep into their pockets this summer, as 11 of the 20 clubs broke their transfer records, six of them on more than one occasion.

Coventry, promoted to the Premier League alongside Ipswich and Hull, have done so four times over.

In contrast to the frenzy of bids, talks, "advanced talks", deal sheets and multiple £100m-plus transfers (plus add-ons, of course), Bournemouth was an oasis of calm on deadline day, with no incomings or outgoings.

Cherries fans will breathe a sigh of relief, and accept that the club's hierarchy were true to their word, in that none of their superstars - especially Alex Scott, Eli Junior Kroupi and Rayan - were sold, despite the noise on social media that would have had you believe that all three were as good as signed, sealed and delivered to "big six" clubs.

Scott even mimed putting a telephone down while celebrating his goal against Everton on Saturday. Though he remains under contract at Vitality Stadium for another two seasons, the speculation will return in future windows if he continues to show the form which has brought him a whisker away from an England cap.

Essentially, head coach Marco Rose will operate with a similar squad, in terms of numbers, to that with which predecessor Andoni Iraola finished last season.

Antonio Silva, Juanlu Sanchez, Alvaro Rodriguez and Michele di Gregorio are, broadly, like-for-like swaps for Marcos Senesi, Alex Jimenez, Enes Unal and Will Dennis.

With supporters rushing to book travel and accommodation for Bournemouth's first foray into Europe, the club must also now look to the continent and submit a squad list to Uefa by midnight on Wednesday.

There are myriad regulations governing what constitutes "club-trained" or "association-trained" players,, external though it may be that one or two players on the fringes of the first-team squad, such as Max Aarons or Julian Araujo, miss out on a Europa League squad place in order to fit Uefa's regulations.

Meanwhile, foremost in Rose's mind will surely be addressing the late defensive lapses which have cost his side points in both Premier League games so far.

With the transfer window shut until January, fans are coming to terms with the business their clubs have done over the summer months.

Speaking to BBC Radio Solent, Bournemouth fan Josh Wyatt said he would rate his side's window a seven out of 10.

On the bargain of the window, Wyatt chose loan signing Michele Di Gregorio saying: "I actually think bringing in a back-up goalkeeper is so crucial. We saw how important it was for [Djordje] Petrovic last year, bringing in a bit of competition. We brought in Christos Mandas and Fraser Forster. Petrovic was quite shaky early on and we bought in two back-up goalkeepers and he was a different goalkeeper.

"Against Everton, Petrovic made some really good saves. In terms of a straight up bargain, bringing in a goalkeeper for £1m who was Juventus' number one last season, I think that would be a bargain for me."

Wyatt picked Antonio Silva as his signing to shine: "We've have seen it already, really well accomplished young centre-back who could be playing for a top European team in a couple of years."

On which outgoing he would miss the most he chose Marcos Senesi, who joined Tottenham.

"He had a superb year for us, winning a few awards for Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season," said Wyatt.

"He was really good last year. To lose him on a free transfer to Tottenham, a league rival and a team that finished below us last year is obviously going to hurt. Definitely Senesi will be a big miss.

"Overall I'm definitely happy with the window. We have kept key players and the big names have stayed."
