Bournemouth are signing Blackburn Rovers winger Connor Mahoney.

The 20 year old, who was also a target for Celtic, Wolves and Nottingham Forest, is a free agent and has begun training with Bournemouth though Blackburn are still due compensation.

The clubs have yet to find agreement over a fee but hope to reach a compromise rather than go to a tribunal.
