Bournemouth are wrapping up a deal for Blackburn Rovers midfielder Joe Rothwell.

The Cherries are close to reaching an agreement with free agent Rothwell after he allowed his contract at Blackburn Rovers to run down, says the Daily Mail.

Rothwell is a former Manchester United player and was a January target for Bournemouth.

Nottingham Forest and Fulham were also keen on the midfielder.

However, Bournemouth are now close to reaching terms with the 26 year-old.
