Ben Doak set to join Bournemouth as deal agreed

Liverpool attacking prospect Ben Doak is reportedly all set to complete a £25 million move to Bournemouth in the coming days.

According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have agreed a £25 million deal to sell teenage Scottish attacker Ben Doak to Bournemouth. The Cherries need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the teenage attacking prospect should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition.

The 19-year-old is a talented player with a bright future, and he needed to join a club where he will play regularly. Liverpool would not have been able to provide him with that opportunity, and it makes sense for him to move on. Recent reports have linked Doak with several Premier League clubs, including West Ham United.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will be hoping to use the funds from his departure to improve their squad. They are still looking to bring in a quality central defender and a striker. They have been linked with Alexander Isak from Newcastle and Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. It will be interesting to see if they can get the two deals across the line before the window closes.

Liverpool started the season with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth last night, and they need to tighten up at the back if they want to win major trophies. As far as Ben Doak is concerned, he will look to continue his development with regular football at the Premier League club now. It will be interesting to see if he can establish himself as a regular starter for Bournemouth and hit the ground running at the Premier League club.

Liverpool exit ideal for Ben Doak

Liverpool are well stocked in the attacking department, and they would not have been able to provide the young attacker with regular opportunities. It makes sense for them to sell the Scot instead of keeping him at the club. They needed to get rid of the player while he still retains some value, and selling him for £25 million could prove to be a masterstroke.

Liverpool managed to win the Premier League title last season, and they will hope to win major trophies this season as well. It remains to be seen whether they can plug the remaining weaknesses in the squad before the window closes.
