Frank Warren makes Junior Kroupi promise after his goal handed Arsenal the Premier League

On Tuesday night Eli Junior Kroupi enshrined himself in Arsenal folklore.

Kroupi opened the scoring as Bournemouth played host to Manchester City in a game that had critical implications for the Premier League title race.

While Erling Haaland managed to extend his lead at the top of the league's scoring charts with an equaliser in stoppage time, a City's failure to take home all three points ultimately handed the title to Arsenal with one game to spare.

The result marks the Gunners' first league triumph for more than two decades, and sees Mikel Arteta's side finally get over the line after three consecutive second-placed finishes.

Clearly in a hospitable mood after his beloved Arsenal became Premier League champions, Queensberry Boxing chief Frank Warren took to social media to honour Kroupi after the game.

"CHAMPIONS!" Warren wrote on X.

"Junior Kroupi, ringside seats to Queensberry shows, for free, for life!"

Warren has long been a supporter of Arsenal, and was in attendance at the Emirates on Monday as Kai Havertz secured their victory against Burnley.

Kroupi's goal against Pep Guardiola's side marks just the latest achievement in what has been a breakthrough campaign for the 19-year-old.

In his first full season in English football the France youth international has netted 13 goals in 32 league appearances, making him Bournemouth's top scorer for 2025/26 in all competitions.

His return also marks the most goals ever scored by a teenager in a debut Premier League season, surpassing a record set by Liverpool's Robbie Fowler that had stood for more than 30 years.
