Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes Jefferson Lerma will be suited to the Premier League.

The Colombian midfielder completed a move from Levante on Tuesday, believed to be worth a club-record £25m.

And Howe thinks the 23-year-old will be worth every penny.

He said: "It's no secret that Jefferson has been someone we have chased for a while this summer.

"It's been a complicated deal but I am certain it will be worth all the hard work that people have put in to make this happen.

"Jefferson is an extremely talented player and a very good athlete who will bring a different type of play to our midfield.

"He has a lot of qualities that will be suited to the Premier League and I'm really looking forward to working with him."
