Bournemouth have completed the signing of midfielder Marcus Tavernier from Middlesbrough for £12.5m.
The 23-year-old has penned a five-year deal with the Cherries.
Tavernier becomes the third addition to Scott Parker’s squad this summer following the arrivals of Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell.
Neill Blake, Bournemouth’s chief executive, said: “We are very pleased to have brought Marcus in. He was one of the stand out performers in the Championship last season, and will be a good fit with our squad.
“He has a great pedigree, tremendous energy and is a versatile young player who can play a number of different positions.
“Marcus was attracting a great deal of interest and we are delighted he has decided to join us. Everyone at the club is looking forward to working with him.”
