Cherries add Tavernier
Bournemouth have completed the signing of winger Marcus Tavernier from Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old has penned a five-year deal with Scott Parker’s men and is their third signing of the summer following promotion to the Premier League.
Cherries chief executive Neill Blake said: “We are very pleased to have brought Marcus in. He was one of the standout performers in the Championship last season and will be a good fit with our squad.
“He has a great pedigree, tremendous energy and is a versatile young player.”
The Boro academy graduate made 44 league appearances for the Championship side last season, scoring five goals and assisting five.
Rooney gets off to winning start at DC
Wayne Rooney’s era at DC United got off to the perfect start as two stoppage-time goals sealed a 2-1 win over Orlando City.
Goals from Chris Durkin and Taxiarchis Fountas earned DC a dramatic victory for the MLS strugglers, who remain bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Now the England legend, 36, wants to use the win as a platform for a turnaround in the nation’s capital.
He said after the victory: “I believed we would win the game, but the one thing we had to do was up the tempo.
“I asked the team at half-time to be more positive. To put the work in. I thought the second half was excellent.
“The players needed that. This season has to start now. They’ve had some bad results in the first half of the season.”
