Bournemouth agree club record deal for Evanilson

Bournemouth have agreed a club record £40.2m deal to sign Porto striker Evanilson.

They will pay £31.7m with the potential for another £8.5m on top, should certain clauses be met.

The Cherries had also been looking at Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah.

However, sources have said a bid for Evanilson has been accepted, with the 24-year-old due to fly in for a medical later today.

Speaking to BBC Sport last month, Bournemouth owner Bill Foley said they had contingencies in place if a club triggered Dominic Solanke’s release clause - with the England international joining Tottenham last week in a deal worth up to £65m.
