The move to Bournemouth, valued at \u00a325m, represents a sizeable profit for Liverpool and pushes the club&#8217;s summer sales to just under \u00a3230m.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old made only 10 competitive senior appearances for Liverpool prior to the transfer. His most productive spell last season came on loan at Middlesbrough, where he produced three goals and seven assists across 24 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>The arrival of Doak is Bournemouth&#8217;s fifth addition of the summer window. He follows other signings including Bafod\u00e9 Diakit\u00e9 and \u0110or\u0111e Petrovi\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth have also experienced a busy outgoing window. The club have seen almost their entire defence move on, with Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi among those to depart.<\/p>\n<p>The transfer underlines Bournemouth&#8217;s summer approach, which has combined reinforcement in wide areas with significant turnover in defensive personnel. The five-year term gives the club a long-term option on a young winger who showed productivity during his loan at Middlesbrough. For Liverpool, the sale turns an initial \u00a3600,000 investment into a substantial fee contributing to a notable summer sales total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Doak completes move to Bournemouth on a five-year deal; Liverpool earn around \u00a325m this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[739,175],"tags":[222,182],"class_list":["post-1860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bournemouth","category-liverpool","tag-ben-doak","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1861,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1860\/revisions\/1861"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
