Bournemouth Agrees Record Deal for Evanilson

AFC Bournemouth has agreed to a club-record transfer deal for FC Porto striker Evanilson, valued at around £40 million, as they seek to replace Dominic Solanke, who recently joined Tottenham for £65 million. The 24-year-old Brazilian forward, who scored 25 goals in various competitions last season, will travel to the UK to finalize the move and undergo a medical. Bournemouth's new manager, Andoni Iraola, has acted swiftly in the transfer market, having previously sold Solanke and sought a suitable replacement. Meanwhile, Brighton has confirmed the signing of German winger Brajan Gruda for £25 million and is also pursuing Leeds forward Georginio Rutter, activating his £40 million release clause. The Premier League clubs are actively strengthening their squads ahead of the new season, with Bournemouth looking to integrate Evanilson quickly into their plans.
