Bournemouth close in on Brooks

Bourmemouth are on the verge of completing the £12m signing of David Brooks from Sheffield United, according to the Mail Online.

The twenty-year old broke into the Blades’ first team last season and racked up thirty league appearances, scoring three goals while his form saw him gain senior international recognition.

He made his debut for Wales in a 2-0 friendly defeat to France in November before also playing in the 1-1 draw with Panama four days later while his third and last outing came in May’s goalless draw with Mexico.

Prior to his switch to Bramall Lane he spent ten years in the youth ranks with Manchester City while he signed a five-year deal with the Sheffield club in 2016, which is why the Cherries are laying out such a hefty fee.

Bournemouth are priced at 2/1 to finish the 2018/19 campaign to finish in the top half of the table.
