Midfielder Alex Scott has completed his move to Bournemouth from Bristol City but a knee injury will delay his Premier League debut.
Robins boss Nigel Pearson confirmed on Wednesday evening that Scott had been given permission to talk to the Cherries and both clubs announced on Thursday
that the transfer was complete.
The 19-year-old, who was named the Championship’s Young Player of the Season for 2022-23, had attracted plenty of attention from Premier League clubs for his standout performances.
Scott, whose move to the Cherries is believed to be worth in excess of £20million, missed Bristol City’s opening two matches of the new season because of a swollen knee.
In announcing the move, Bournemouth confirmed scans on Scott’s knee problem revealed the injury to be “more significant than was initially reported” and the midfielder was now set for a “period of rehabilitation” before he will join up with his new team-mates.
Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake feels the club have landed “one of the most exciting young players in Europe”.
