As first reported by David Ornstein, and shortly thereafter corroborated by the BBC, Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs, the Blues and the Cherries have agreed on a transfer fee worth £25m, although the exact structure of the deal is not yet known.

Bournemouth have agreed a £25m fee to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. The 25-year-old will have a medical with the club next week and is expected to sign a five-year deal. Petrovic was keen to leave Stamford Bridge to become a regular starter and refused to play in the Club World Cup.

Bournemouth are advanced in talks with Chelsea over the signing of goalkeeper Djorde Petrovic. A deal is not yet agreed but there is growing optimism one will be struck as Bournemouth look to sign a new No 1 following Kepa Arrizabalaga’s return to Chelsea and subsequent sale to Arsenal.
