BEN Doak is nearing a move to the [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) and has undergone parts of his medical at the Dorset club, according to reports.
A deal that could be worth £25million has been agreed by AFC Bournemouth with Liverpool, with Sky Sports’ Mark McAdam reporting that the Reds will have a buy-back option on the winger.
The fee would see the Cherries pay an initial £20m, plus £5m in add-ons.
As reported, the Cherries were hopeful of securing a deal for the 19-year-old, with Dango Ouattara heading to Brentford and Luis Sinisterra set to head out on loan to Cruzeiro in Brazil.
Now, Doak looks set to become Bournemouth’s fourth signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, left back Adrien Truffert and centre back Bafode Diakite.
The young Scot was signed by Liverpool from Celtic for £600,000 in compensation back in 2022, going on to make 10 appearances for the Merseyside club.
Last season, he went on loan to Middlesbrough, where he played 24 times, scoring three goals and notching seven assists.
Doak also has six caps for Scotland.
