Liverpool forward Ben Doak is reportedly on the verge of leaving Anfield, with Bournemouth in advanced talks over a deal worth around £25 million.

The Cherries, fresh from signing French defender Bafodé Diakité, are looking to strengthen their attack before the season kicks off.

Doak’s time at Liverpool has been a mix of promise and frustration.

New boss Arne Slot has since reshaped the squad, and it seems the youngster’s path to regular football lies elsewhere.

From a business point of view, this deal would make sense for Liverpool.

However, letting go of a player with Doak’s potential is always a gamble — especially for a team that prides itself on developing young talent.

For Bournemouth, it’s a chance to add pace and directness to Andoni Iraola’s front line.

The move could also give Doak the regular Premier League minutes he needs to kickstart his career.

The fact Liverpool and Bournemouth meet on the opening day adds a dash of irony — Doak could be lining up against his former teammates sooner than expected.
