Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has sealed a £19million deal to sign Dominic Solanke on a permanent transfer from Liverpool.
Howe sees the 21-year-old striker as a replacement for Jermain Defoe who is bound for Rangers.
Solanke was on the brink of a move to Crystal Palace but the loan switch collapsed when interest from other clubs in a permanent transfer started to solidify.

There were enquiries from Brighton and Huddersfield and clubs in Germany including Schalke.
Bournemouth, however, concluded a deal on Friday to sign the England international, who moved to Anfield when his contract expired at Chelsea, 18 months ago.
