Brede Hangeland to join Bournemouth?

Newly promoted Premier League side Bournemouth are hopeful that a deal can be agreed to sign Norway international defender Brede Hangeland. The Cherries are planning a busy summer on the transfer market and are looking to sign experienced players for the new campaign.

Hangeland, who enjoyed spells with both Fulham and Crystal Palace in the English top flight, was released by the Eagles last week. Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe has been given a large budget to spend on new faces and the young manager is also looking to sign free, experienced players wherever possible. The Cherries are looking to sign at least five new players before the start of the new season.
