Liverpool fullback Brad Smith agrees Bournemouth terms

Liverpool fullback Brad Smith has accepted a contract offer from Bournemouth.

Sky Sports says Smith has agreed terms with Bournemouth ahead of a £6m move to the south coast.

His agent met the club on Monday to agree a contract after the two clubs settled on a fee for the 22-year-old at the weekend and he has since flown home from Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States to undergo a medical.

Smith, capped nine times by Australia, made his Liverpool debut in December 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in the 2-1 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

He will become the second player to leave Liverpool for Bournemouth this summer following Jordon Ibe's club-record £15m switch to the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has been busy adding to his squad ahead of the new season and has already secured the services of Ibe, Nathan Ake, Emerson Hyndman, Lys Mousset and Lewis Cook.
