Liverpool's summer sales exceed £200m as Ben Doak signs for Bournemouth

Ben Doak has joined Bournemouth for £25m to take Liverpool's summer sales past the £200m mark. Liverpool have a buyback clause for the Scotland international winger, as they did in Jarell Quansah 's move to Bayer Leverkusen, in case they want to bring him back to Anfield. Bournemouth saw off a host of other clubs to sign the teenager, with Porto submitting a bid and Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Wolves and West Ham all interested in Doak. He will arrive in Dorset as a replacement for Dango Ouattara, who was sold to Brentford for £42m. Doak only made three Premier League appearances for Liverpool, all as a substitute, and played 10 times in all competitions but has impressed in his six caps for Scotland and on loan at Middlesbrough last season. He follows Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton, Nat Phillips and Quansah in leaving Anfield this summer. Liverpool are guaranteed £206m from their sales, which could go up to £227m including add-ons. The Premier League champions have spent over £300m and head coach Arne Slot has said he wants to sign one more attacker. Liverpool had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle last month.

Bournemouth sign Liverpool winger Ben Doak in deal worth up to £25million

Bournemouth have completed the signing of winger Ben Doak from Premier League rivals Liverpool in a deal worth up to £25million. The 19-year-old Scotland international has agreed a five-year contract at Vitality Stadium. Doak spent last season on loan at Championship club Middlesbrough, scoring three goals and registering seven assists in 24 appearances. Bournemouth are understood to have paid an initial £20m and could spend a further £5m in add-ons as they reinvest some of the funds received from a series of lucrative summer departures. Forward Dango Ouattara finalised a £42.5m move to Brentford at the weekend, while the south-coast club had already sold defenders Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez to Paris St Germain, Real Madrid and Liverpool respectively for a total of around £150m. Doak is the Cherries' fourth signing of the transfer window following the arrivals of goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, left-back Adrien Truffert and centre-back Bafode Diakite for a combined sum in the region of £70m. He could make his debut during Saturday's top-flight fixture at home to Wolves. Doak, who has six Scotland caps, began his career with Celtic before moving to Merseyside for £600,000 in 2022. The teenager played 10 times for Liverpool, including three substitute appearances in the Premier League. He was not involved on Friday evening when Arne Slot's reigning champions defeated the Cherries 4-2 in the season-opener at Anfield.

'Sad to see' - Newcastle and Villa fans unite against PSR

Their sides may have been battling it out on the pitch, but Newcastle United and Aston Villa fans stood together as both sets of supporters vented their anger towards Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) at Villa Park on the opening weekend of the Premier League timing of this chant felt significant before Aston Villa announced the departure of Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle 24 hours or so deal secured Aston Villa pure profit on account of Ramsey being an academy it was not a cause for Villa captain John McGinn, who has been a vocal critic of financial regulations, wrote that it "seems to be the way football is set up these days".Such dismay has even been felt across the Atlantic by Dean Smith, the club's former manager, who handed Ramsey his debut."It is sad for the Villa fans to see one of our own go," he said of the £40m deal. 'Very difficult to see him leave' Geordies know that feeling, of was just last summer that Elliot Anderson was sold to Nottingham Forest to help Newcastle comply with PSR rules following years of imbalanced head coach Eddie Howe said he was "uncomfortable" letting Anderson go, but clubs are now being incentivised to sell such leaves homegrown talent increasingly vulnerable, as football finance expert Kieran Maguire explained."It works from an accounting point of view," he said. "But it's absolutely awful from a footballing perspective. I can understand the frustration of fans. They have a special bond."Neutrals may question why Newcastle and Aston Villa have had to resort to such all, don't these ambitious clubs have incredibly wealthy owners?But it is the established order rather than these disruptors who have been able to fall back on superior income is what matters in a PSR world, as clubs are limited to losses of up to £105m over a rolling three-year context, as previously reported by BBC Sport, Arsenal (£327.8m), Chelsea (£337.8m), Manchester United (£364.7m), Liverpool (£386.1m) and Manchester City (£412.6m) spent more on wages than Newcastle generated in revenue (£320.3m) in Premier League clubs' most recently published Villa, meanwhile, have had a higher wage-to-turnover ratio than Newcastle and the club were recently sanctioned by Uefa for breaching the European governing body's separate financial Emery's side are now bound by a strict three-year settlement with Uefa, which means that "any £100m in incoming transfers must be matched by at least £100m in outgoing sales", in the words of Ramsey deal will likely have been concluded with that agreement in mind and former team-mate Neil Taylor said it was "very difficult to see him leave" as a result."Jacob wasn't a flash in the pan or just a talent - he was someone that wouldn't let you down," he said. "He had a really good temperament, showed respect to everyone, trained properly and was Villa through and through." An Eddie Howe player Aston Villa's loss is Newcastle's three quiet windows, Newcastle have been able to reinforce their squad after substantial deficits dropped out of the club's three-year PSR cycle, which takes the financial years ending 2024, 2025 and 2026 into have seen several targets move elsewhere, and the Alexander Isak saga continues to hang over the club, but the black-and-whites have brought in Anthony Elanga, Malick Thiaw, Aaron Ramsdale and, now, Ramsey, who is a player Howe "loved" from certainly looks like a Howe player and the versatile midfielder was even ranked second for possessions won (15) in the final third for Aston Villa in the top-flight last may be well-stocked in the middle of the park, but the 24-year-old's athleticism, ball-carrying ability and experience in the Premier League and Champions League will be invaluable as the club prepare to fight on four are clear areas for improvement, registered just six goal involvements in the top-flight last season, but Callum Rowe recalled how his friend "always had an eye for scoring" after the pair came through the ranks together at Aston Villa."He has the natural ability for arriving in the box from midfield and scoring goals, which, in my opinion, is something you can't teach," he said.A chance to work on these aspects of his game under Howe was certainly a big draw for Gordon, Dan Burn, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento have all become senior England internationals following an extended period with the Newcastle head coach and his Ramsey, who previously won the European Championships with England Under-21s, hopes to one day follow does not feel unrealistic if Ramsey can continue to keep himself fit following an injury-disrupted for one, has no doubt that there is "more to come" from the midfielder, who is "very coachable"."Eddie is really good with the players so Jacob will settle in with him really well," the former Aston Villa manager said. "He could thrive under him and I can see why Eddie has gone for him. He's his type of player. He fits in with the work ethic. He's got the skillset."With my Villa head on, I'd rather see him at Villa still, but he's going to a Champions League team and a big, well-supported club so I wish him well. He will handle it."
