Atletico Madrid have raided Bournemouth for their groundsman.

Dan González has handed in his notice at his current club, says the Independent, and will be heading to Madrid in the next few weeks to take over the care of the pitch at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Anglo-Spanish González has been working with head groundsman Robin Wilcox at the Vitality Stadium, a ground where the visiting teams regularly praise the state of the turf.

González won't be the first British passport holder to be in charge of the turf in the Spanish top flight, with Paul Burgess, one of the world's top groundsman, at Real Madrid.
