Sylvain Distin to join Bournemouth

French defender Sylvain Distin looks set to complete a free transfer move to AFC Bournemouth. The newly promoted Premier League side have also completed a deal for Tyrone Mings.

Distin is available on a free transfer and his agent had been looking for a new Premier League club for most of the close season for the centre back. West Brom were said to be in the race for Distin, but the defender preferred a move to Eddie Howe's side and will sign a two year deal with the Cherries.
