Bournemouth’s African craze – 25,000,000 prepared for Villarreal’s latest gem

Bournemouth were pretty quiet this summer in the transfer window, but now in January, they could shake up the market with a series of reinforcements.While clubs like Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle or Everton did not make any new signings, Bournemouth already spent around 25,000,000 euros on Lorient and Burkina Faso winger Dango Outtara and thus just opened the winter shopping season which has just heated up. It looks like it’s going to be quite a stormy winter transfer window at the Vitality Stadium…The latest news from the Island has Bournemouth beating Southampton in the race to sign Senegal and Villarreal forward Nicolas Jackson.This talented fellow made his debut for Villarreal’s first team last season, played as an offensive midfielder or right wing and spent most of the season in the B team. Last summer, he was definitely upgraded to the first team and this season he got his share of minutes in the center forward position. He scored only two goals, but it was enough to attract interest from the Island.##NAJAVA_MECA_6971601##First, Southampton called and offered 20,000,000 euros, but Villarreal refused. When Bournemouth offered €25,000,000, the Spanish club opened the door to a transfer. And why wouldn’t they – Jackson cost them next to nothing, he’s only 21 years old, he’s not their main man and he’ll bring in a nice amount of money. If Southampton don’t come out with a drastically bigger offer soon, Jackson should become Bournemouth’s second winter signing in the coming days.But not the last. Work is being done on several other fronts.Bournemouth want Paris Saint-Germain’s disgruntled Keylor Navas as a goal-line solution as Neto and Travers have failed to live up to expectations so far. If Navas does not come, the alternative is the experienced Irishman Darren Randolph, who is only the third choice at West Ham behind Areola and Fabianski.The Premier League or Ronaldo’s invitation? Keylor Navas is leaving PSGAlso, Bournemouth offered just under €15,000,000 for Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo from Bristol City. The same money is offered by Championship leader Burnley, but Bournemouth’s advantage is Premier League status. The question is whether Bristol can sell Semenyo because he is currently making a difference in the fight for survival and without him they risk dropping to the third division.In parallel, Bournemouth are also working on bringing in a left back, and have found some interesting prospects in Serie A. The Cherries will try to borrow one of the reserve backs of Inter and Roma. The first option is Robin Gosens from Inter, who has been coming off the bench for most of the season, while the second target is the Uruguayan Matias Viña, who does not play much under Mourinho at Roma.Understand Bournemouth have strongly joined the race on Nicolas Jackson. Southampton progressing in talks on player-side and with Villarreal – they have sent an official bid. 🇸🇳🔴 #SaintsFC #AFCB🚨Excl. Been told Bournemouth could submit their first bid tonight! pic.twitter.com/bQq1sYwIz7— Luca Bendoni (@LucaBendoni) January 23, 2023 But one departure from Bournemouth is also possible this January. Arsenal have made a serious bid for winger Jaidon Anthony. He spent ten years in Arsenal’s academy but did not get a chance in the first team. Mikel Arteta likes him very much and Arsenal could offer around 15,000,000 euros already this winter because Leicester, Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach are also interested in the young attacker.
