Bournemouth attacker Justin Kluivert was quick to respond after a major development in what has already been a busy summer at the club.

While Bournemouth began their Premier League campaign with a narrow defeat to Liverpool, it was a spirited performance from a much-changed side.

Andoni Iraola’s team has undergone a significant reshuffle in the window, with several key players moving on.

Dean Huijsen secured a high-profile move to Real Madrid, while Illia Zabarnyi completed a transfer to PSG.

The attack has also seen changes, with Dango Ouattara leaving for Brentford to replace Bryan Mbeumo, as Bournemouth look to strengthen in the final third before the window closes, in addition to Ben Doak.

That search for attacking reinforcements has now taken a fresh turn — and it’s one that has quickly caught the attention of Kluivert.

Ben Doak signed for Bournemouth earlier this window.

After Bournemouth confirmed a deal to bring in Doak, thjey are set to make another attacking addition.

Fabrizio Romano revealed on Instagram that the Cherries have agreed a deal to sign Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen.

He added that the move will reportedly cost in the region of £25 million, with Leverkusen sanctioning his departure as they close in on the signing of highly rated youngster Claudio Echeverri.

The update caught the eye of Kluivert, who liked the post.

Sunderland had also shown interest in Adli, but Bournemouth moved quickly to secure an agreement following Dango Ouattara’s exit to Brentford earlier in the week.

The Morocco international offers versatility across the pitch, able to operate on either flank as well as in an attacking midfield role.

Last season, he registered four goals and four assists in 28 appearances for Leverkusen.

At 25, Adli has often been used in a rotational capacity, but with Malik Tillman’s arrival for Erik ten Hag’s side, he has decided now is the right time to move on in search of regular football.

While strengthening the attack has been a priority, Iraola is also pushing to reinforce his defence after several departures this summer.

Bournemouth have reportedly made Chelsea youngster Josh Acheampong a key target, with the club said to have made him a “priority” in the final weeks of the transfer window.

Former scout Mick Brown told Football Insider in July that Chelsea are prepared to accept offers for Acheampong, with Tottenham and Newcastle also monitoring his situation.

Despite the growing interest, the defender featured in Chelsea’s opening fixture of the season, suggesting that his immediate role at Stamford Bridge is not yet settled.

Time will tell whether Bournemouth are able to strike a deal.
