Bournemouth sign Lee Tomlin

Bournemouth have confirmed the signing of Middlesbrough forward Lee Tomlin on a three-year deal for a reported fee of around £3m.

The 26-year-old was understood to be keen on a move to the Premier League having failed to achieve promotion in his two seasons at the Riverside.

It has now been confirmed that the former Peterborough man has joined the Cherries on a three-year deal.

"Lee is a player who we are excited about and will get fans off their seats," Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said.

Tomlin scored 10 goals in 50 games for Boro in all competitions last season.
