Ben Doak has completed his move to AFC Bournemouth in a deal worth £25million for Liverpool.

The talented Scotland winger departs Anfield after making just three Premier League appearances for the Reds in the latest exit of the summer transfer window.

A buyback option has been included in the deal as Arne Slot's side recouped a significant profit on the attacker, who spent his formative years with Scottish Premiership giants Celtic, before he joined Liverpool in 2022 for around £600,000.



Doak impressed during his first loan spell in senior football with Middlesbrough in the Championship before an injury curtailed his role in their playoff push.

The Cherries beat a string of clubs to Doak's signature after Porto, West Ham and Wolves all expressed interest; however, talks accelerated with Bournemouth as the ECHO reported on Friday.

Bournemouth's interest in the Scot meant that he was left out of the matchday squad for the Cherries' visit to Anfield on Friday.

His move comes after he was the topic of interest during the January transfer window, prior to his injury in the North East, but Liverpool valued him considerably higher than the £15m that was mooted at the time.

The sales at the Premier League champions now exceed £200m, days after their arrivals total tipped over £300m with the arrival of Giovanni Leoni, with the sales of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£10m), Jarell Quansah (£35m), Caoimhin Kelleher (£18m), Nat Phillips (£3m), Tyler Morton (£15m), Luis Diaz (£65.5m) and Darwin Nunez (£46m).

Andoni Iraola's side have been searching for reinforcements in wide areas after Dango Ouattara joined Brentford in a club-record deal for £42.5m.

During his time on Merseyside, Doak earned rave reviews for his quality in attacking areas and his blistering pace against defenders.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was among them describing the Scot as the "Tasmanian devil" for his skillset.

"When I saw him last year, I remember when he came on against Villa away last year, and he did that stepover and went past the full-back," he said.

"He’s very exciting, very direct, one-v-one.

Let’s be positive and hope for him that he will be part of our success."
