Bournemouth have signed 19-year-old Liverpool midfielder Ben Doak on a five-year contract.


Bournemouth announced on Monday that 19-year-old Liverpool right winger Ben Doak has officially joined the club. The two sides have signed a five-year contract until June 30, 2030.


The official also confirmed that Ben Doak will wear the No. 11 jersey at Bournemouth.


According to multiple British media reports, the base fee for the transfer is £20 million, but if floating clauses are included, the total could reach up to £25 million.


Doak was born in Dalry, Scotland in 2005 and made his debut for his parent club Celtic in the Scottish Premier League on January 29, 2022. He has played for Liverpool since March 2022 and has only made 10 appearances so far, winning one English League Cup with the team.


Due to lack of playing opportunities, Doak was loaned to Middlesbrough in August 2024. He spent a year at Middlesbrough, during which time he played 24 games, scored 3 goals and provided 7 assists.


Commenting on Doak's arrival, Bournemouth's director of football operations, Thiago Pinto, said: "Ben is an exciting young talent. Despite his young age, he has already shown his quality at the highest level."


“His pace and dynamism will fit perfectly into our tactical system and we are very much looking forward to helping him realise his potential at Bournemouth.”


"We are delighted to be able to bring in another player this summer. We will continue to invest in our squad."


Doak said: "I am very excited to be here. I feel that now is the right time for me to transfer and it is also a great opportunity to play regularly in the top league. I think I am a great fit for the team."


"This team plays beautiful, fast-paced football and it perfectly suits my style of play. Therefore, I saw no reason to turn down the opportunity to join Bournemouth."
