AFC Bournemouth explain Daniel Jebbison transfer switch after Sheffield United contract rejection
AFC Bournemouth have hailed the “potential” of striker Daniel Jebbison after unveiling the former Sheffield United man as a Cherries player. Jebbison has signed a four-year deal on the south coast after rejecting the chance to stay at Bramall Lane and leave as a free agent this summer.
The Blades were confident last season that Jebbison would sign that deal on offer and remain at United, with boss Chris Wilder reporting that Jebbison had told him that he saw his future in South Yorkshire. But the longer the saga went on, the chances increased of him moving on when his contract officially expired on June 30.
FC Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said: “We’re very pleased to have Daniel sign a long-term deal with us. He has many promising attributes, and has already provided some memorable moments in his young career so far.
“We look forward to overseeing Daniel continue his development, in an environment which will provide every opportunity to help him fulfil that exciting potential.
Crawley Town Football Club have completed the loan signing of highly-rated midfielder Michael Dacosta González from AFC Bournemouth.
The 19-year-old has signed with the Reds until the end of the season.
Dacosta was born in Alicante and began his career in the academy of local side Alicante CF. The youngster has an impressive story as his parents moved to England and quickly settled in London, where he played for a number of grassroots teams before his family moved again, to Portsmouth. While playing for another grassroots team in Portsmouth, he was offered a trial at professional side Bournemouth, who signed him after just four weeks
