Bournemouth have announced the signing of Argentinian left-back Julio Soler.
The 19-year-old has joined from Argentinian side Lanus and has signed a long-term deal with the Cherries.
Club president of football operations Tiago Pinto said: “We are delighted to welcome Julio to AFC Bournemouth.
“He is someone we have monitored closely and have been extremely impressed by his progress.”
Soler is Bournemouth’s second senior signing of the January transfer window after American defender Matai Akinmboni joined from DC United.
Technical director Simon Francis added: “Julio is another talented young player who arrives highly sought after and we are pleased to have added him to our squad.
“With the way Andoni and his staff improve exciting prospects, we look forward to seeing Julio’s progress with us.”

Born in Paraguay in 2005, Soler moved to Argentina at a young age and signed for Buenos Airies-based Lanus as a nine-year-old.
A pacey and dynamic full-back, he has since featured 58 times for the club since making his debut in 2022 after progressing through their ranks.
The teenager has also captained Argentina at Under-20 level and featured at the Paris Olympics last summer, making four appearances.
