Bournemouth have reportedly completed the signing of Levante midfielder Jefferson Lerma for a club-record £25m fee.
The 23-year-old impressed for Colombia at the 2018 World Cup and has found himself linked with multiple clubs from around Europe following his exploits in Russia.
Lerma, who is also capable of playing at right-back, made 28 appearances for Levante during the 2017-18 season.
According to multiple sources including BBC Sport, the signing has been finalised and the player is now on Bournemouth's books, though the club have yet to confirm the news.
The report also claims that the fee for Lerma eclipses the £20m paid by the club to Chelsea for defender Nathan Ake last summer.
Bournemouth have officially made two signings this summer, snapping up midfielder David Brooks from Sheffield United and full-back Diego Rico from Leganes.
