Bournemouth have agreed a deal for Liverpool winger Ben Doak for an initial £20m with a further £5m in add-ons.
The 19-year-old is expected to complete his transfer to the south coast in the next 24 hours in a move that remains subject to paperwor over Bournemouth at Anfield on Friday night, amid ongoing talks between the two Premier League clubs.
But Bournemouth have since secured a deal for the forward, who has six caps for Scotland, and spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, scoring three times and recording seven assists in 24 matches.
They are understood to have beaten interest from other Premier League clubs, including Leeds, as well as Portuguese club Porto.
Doak’s move will give him a better chance of playing first team football having played just 10 times for Liverpool since joining from Celtic in 2022.
It will take Liverpool’s sales to around £200m this summer, having spent more than £270m on new signings and having had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle.
