THE [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) are in advanced talks with Olympiacos over a permanent move for Zain Silcott-Duberry, according to reports. 

The 20-year-old joined AFC Bournemouth from Chelsea's academy in January, and has featured for Andoni Iraola's first team, but he now looks set to move to Greece. 

The transfer window is open for Super League Greece clubs until September 12. 

Sky Sports' Mark McAdam reports that the clubs are in discussions over the move, and the forward could travel to Greece on Monday to complete the move, should final details be agreed. 

Silcott-Duberry joined the Cherries in January and was an important part of the development squad team that reached the Professional Development League playoff final last season. 

He also featured in the first team match day squad on 11 occasions last term, coming off the bench twice, once in the Premier League in the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest and once in the FA Cup in the 2-0 win at Everton. 

He has featured at times in preseason for Iraola's side, coming off the bench in the final preseason friendly against Real Sociedad at the Vitality Stadium.
