Bournemouth have agreed a deal worth around £20million ($24.7m) to sign Dynamo Kyiv centre-back Illia Zabarnyi.
The south-coast club have been keen to bolster their centre-back options and Zabarnyi is seen as a player who can fit into the team’s current setup — with potential to grow into a world-class talent.

In his first campaign for Dynamo, Zabarnyi won three titles, including the Ukrainian Cup, a league title and Ukrainian Super Cup.
The 20-year-old is a full Ukraine international with 24 caps and has made 84 appearances for club side Dynamo.
Bournemouth have bolstered their squad considerably this window as they look to fight against relegation. They have brought in Dango Ouattara, Antoine Semenyo, Matias Vina on loan and Darren Randolph.
They are currently 18th in the Premier League table, although they are level on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are 17th. They are also just one point behind Leicester City in 14th.
