Bournemouth are set to beat Brighton and Hove Albion to the signing of Philip Billing from Huddersfield Town, according to the Sun.

The newspaper claims Bournemouth will wrap up a deal starting at £15 million for the Huddersfield midfielder, despite facing competition from Brighton.

Billing recently entered the final year of his contract at the Kirklees Stadium, prompting the Terriers to cash in on a player who is said to have been stripped of his squad number already.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are continuing to nurse back from injury another midfielder they signed from a Yorkshire club, Lewis Cook.

And Billing would strengthen Eddie Howe’s options – which also include Jefferson Lerma, Dan Gosling, Andrew Surman and Harry Arter – in Cook’s position.

Lucky for Brighton, they are not exactly short there either, with Dale Stephens, Beram Kayal, Yves Bissouma, Davy Propper and Pascal Groß to call on.

Huddersfield fans – what would Bournemouth (or Brighton) be getting in Billing?
