AFC Bournemouth are reportedly set to complete the £8m signing of England youth international Lewis Cook.
The newly-promoted Premier League side, who sit four points above the bottom three following their goalless encounter against Leicester City yesterday, have been monitoring the Leeds United starlet in the follow up to the January transfer window.
The 18-year-old, who is an England Under-19 international, has made 22 appearances in all competitions for the Championship outfit so far this season, scoring once.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe is keen to bolster his midfield ranks this month in a bid to keep Bournemouth in the English top-flight during their debut campaign come May.
