Bournemouth eye £12m Pope move


AFC Bournemouth are interested in signing Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope to replace Artur Boruc this summer.


A report by Lancs Live suggests that the Cherries would have to pay in the region of £12m for the Burnley shot-stopper.


With Tom Heaton's return from injury, and Joe Hart's arrival at Turf Moor - Pope has subsequently fallen down the pecking order under Sean Dyche.


Pope had a fantastic breakthrough season with the Clarets last term, registering 11 clean sheets in 35 Premier League appearances.

Such form prompted Gareth Southgate to turn his attention to the goalkeeper and he was called up to a World Cup warm-up match against Costa Rica at Elland Road.


Pope suffered with a shoulder injury at the start of the season against Aberdeen in a Europa League qualifier and returned to full fitness in January.


Boruc is 39-years-old now and his contract at the Vitality Stadium expires in the summer - with the Cherries unlikely to renew the Pole's services.
