A 10 or right winger - why Adli chose Bournemouth
- Published
Bournemouth's new signing Amine Adli is realising a personal dream to play in the Premier League by moving to the south coast.
The 25-year-old joined from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £25.1m including add-ons on Thursday.
Adli scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in 42 games in 2023-24 as Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and German Cup double under former boss Xabi Alonso.
Those close to the winger say he is excited to play under manager Andoni Iraola at a club that he feels is growing in stature.
He believes Iraola's style of play will fit his skill set having been pitched the chance to play both number 10 and on the right-wing.
Upon joining the club, Adli said: "The people around give me a lot of confidence here and I'm very impressed with the facilities.
"The people at the club are full of love, so I'm very happy and proud to play for Bournemouth and hopefully achieve good things."
