Premier League Bournemouth need a new goalkeeper and are reportedly looking at Liverpool’s Mignolet, Burnley’s Pope and Stoke City’s Jack Butland.
Bournemouth are after a goalkeeper to replace the error-prone Asmir Begovic this summer and could offer Simon Mignolet an escape from the Liverpool bench, according to the Mail.
No shot-stopper has made as many mistakes that have lead to a goal this season as Begovic, who’s form has really dipped on the South Coast in recent months. The former Chelsea ‘keeper, once one of the league’s best during his time at Stoke, now looks set to lose his place in the coming months.
Because the Mail reports that Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is looking at a potential deal for Mignolet.
The Belgian has been a Liverpool player since he arrived from Sunderland six years ago for £9 million (BBC), but he has failed to make a single Premier League appearance this season after losing his number one role to Alisson Becker.
And Mignolet would surely jump at the chance to play regular football again on the South Coast. On Thursday, Jurgen Klopp described the 31-year-old as the Premier League’s best back up goalkeeper while lauding his ‘brilliant’ attitude (Liverpool Echo).
The Mail adds that Bournemouth are also keen on Burnley’s Nick Pope while they could let Begovic return to Stoke as a makeweight in a potential deal for £30 million-rated England international Jack Butland (below).
