Bournemouth transfer news
Cherry once again sends shock waves throughout Premier League In a surprise push to secure European football under his leadership Andoni Airolawho has quickly become one of the managers to watch in the English game. The Spaniard's side play excellent football – one of the most entertaining in the Premier League – and have recorded well-deserved victories over Arsenal and Manchester City as a result this season.
However, Bournemouth – perhaps more than most – will be keenly aware of the cost of success in the Premier League. They have had to bid farewell to the likes of Callum Wilson, Dominic Solanke and Nathan Ake in the past when approached by top clubs and have now had no choice but to do the same either in the January transfer window or over the summer.
Already, in-form left-back Kerkez is said to have attracted interest Liverpool and Manchester United With the transfer window open, it wouldn't come as a huge shock if they manage to land the Hungarian's signature in the coming weeks or months. The Cherry family seems to be well aware of this possibility.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bournemouth have now reached an agreement to sign Julio Soler In a deal worth $15 million (£12 million) from Argentine club Lanus. After signing a four-year contract, the left-back is now set to travel to the south coast and complete his medical.
Once again, in a smart move from those at the Vitality Stadium, Soler could quickly become the natural replacement for Kerquez if he decides to leave in the coming months.
The “sexy” Soler is a smart addition
While Soler's arrival likely signals that Bournemouth expect to lose Kirkese at some point in the near future, the left-back's arrival could quickly prove to be a stroke of genius if he naturally replaces the man linked to Liverpool and the Cherries make a significant amount of profit from either… Sale they agree to.
At just 19 years old, Soler has all the potential in the world to reach Kirkez's current level. He is seen as an “exciting prospect”, according to Sky Sports. Mark McAdamSoler should prove that he is one to watch in Bournemouth's impressive squad.
In almost Brighton-like fashion, the Cherries became a sustainable and successful club by turning players into stars and selling them for huge profits. They did that with Solanke last summer, before signing Evanilsson, and they can now do it again by selling Kerkes for big money and immediately pushing Soler into a starting role.
