Between the Ivory Coast national team and France, Eli Junior Kroupi has made his decision about his international career

The striker, whose father is from Ivory Coast, has cleared up the confusion.

The father of the Bournemouth player had already given clues about his son's choice a few days earlier. On Sunday, on the Téléfoot programme, Eli Junior Kroupi confirmed it. The player wants to make history with the French team.

I can never forget where I come from. But I feel a special pride every time I wear the blue jersey. I want to play for the French national team, said the 19-year-old player.

Born in France, Eli Junior Kroupi has so far played for French youth teams.
