Asmir Begovic

Bournemouth have signed goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Chelsea.

According to reports, Bourmemouth manager Eddie Howe has splashed around £8m rising to £10m with add-ons on the keeper.

AFC Bournemouth is an exciting, ambitious club which has everything in place for a very bright future,” said Begovic.

“Being part of a title-winning team at Chelsea was amazing but I felt now was the right time to move on because I want to be playing regular football.

“I am coming into an important part of my career and I want to show people what I am capable of.

“When I spoke to Eddie Howe I knew AFC Bournemouth was the right club for me and I want to bring my experience to the squad, both on and off the pitch.

“I’m really excited to be part of the journey here and hope I can help take the club to another level.”

The 29-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina player made 17 league starts in two seasons at Stamford Bridge - but just two as Chelsea won the league.
