Bournemouth spend record £40m on Evanilson as Brighton bid for Rutter
Brazilian striker joins from Porto for club-record feeBrighton sign £25m Gruda and offer £40m for Leeds’ Rutter
Bournemouth have moved to replace Dominic Solanke by agreeing a club-record £40m fee for the Porto striker Evanilson. The Brazilian, who scored 13 league goals in 27 appearances last season, is expected to travel to England in the next 24 hours to finalise the move. The 24-year-old made his Brazil debut in June, in a friendly against Mexico.
Solanke joined Tottenham last week for £55m and Andoni Iraola has wasted no time in snapping up his replacement as they prepare to open their season at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
