Scotland winger Ben Doak 'close' to £25m Liverpool transfer exit

Ben Doak is reportedly close to joining Bournemouth from Liverpool on a permanent basis. 

The Scotland winger spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he scored three goals and provided seven assists in 24 appearances. 

With a year left on his current deal at Anfield, his future on Merseyside has been uncertain this summer.

Liverpool signed the 19-year-old from Scottish Premiership champions Celtic back in 2022 for just £600,000 in training compensation.

They are now set to make a tidy profit, with Doak having played for their first team just 10 times. 

In joining Andoni Iraola's side, Doak will link up with his Scotland teammate and fellow ex-Celt, Ryan Christie. 

He moved to the south coast in 2021 and has thrived since, winning Bournemouth's Supporters' Player of the Season award for his displays in 2024/25. 

Doak will hope for similar, if not even better, levels of success as he joins the club that finished ninth in the English Premier League last term.
