Bournemouth's Daniel Jebbison on Transfer List Amid Striker Search
Bournemouth's Daniel Jebbison has reportedly been placed on the transfer list as Genoa searches for a new striker. The 22-year-old Canadian impressed Genoa's management during a friendly match between the two sides on August 4th, scoring goals in a 10-1 win for the Cherries.
What happened?
Genoa's hunt for a new number nine this summer could lead them to both Bournemouth and Brighton and Hove Albion. La Repubblica di Genova reports that the Italian side have their sights on Daniel Jebbison and Evan Ferguson. The newspaper explains that the list of candidates at the Serie A side is long as they try to solve their search for a player in the position.
Why it matters for Bournemouth
The Cherries have already lost Eli Junior Kroupi through injury and Enes Unal is set to return to Getafe. They signed Álvaro Rodríguez earlier this summer, but the plan is surely for Jebbison to provide back up to him, unless there are more additions before the end of the window.
What comes next?
For now, it appears that Genoa are just looking at the names on their list and deciding what direction to go in. But there is a desire to get a new striker through the door in the next 10 days, and the Brighton and Bournemouth men are options to be explored in that pursuit.
Bournemouth currently sit 6th in the Premier League, with 57 points from 38 games, and a recent form of 1W-4D-0L. They are 28 points behind leaders Arsenal and have scored 58 goals this season, conceding 54. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on May 24th, and they are unbeaten in their last 5 games. Their next fixture is against Ipswich on November 7th.
