The 25-year-old Morocco international becomes the Cherries’ seventh arrival of the summer after agreeing a five-year contract. A versatile attacker, Adli is most often deployed on the left but has also operated centrally and on the right.

He made 143 appearances for Leverkusen, contributing 10 goals and 12 assists across 42 games last season as Xabi Alonso’s side secured a Bundesliga and German Cup double.

Adli is most comfortable on the left wing but can also operate as an attacking midfielder, either centrally or drifting inside from the left.

He joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, shortly before Xabi Alonso took charge, yet was unable to secure a regular starting role and was more often used as an impact substitute with Florian Wirtz and Nathan Tella ahead of him.

His involvement increased during the season before 2023-24 when Wirtz was sidelined by injury, but in the title-winning campaign he again found himself largely on the fringes of the side.

A busy summer of signings and sales

This summer they have also raised about £150m through sales, with Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi moving to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.

Bournemouth are thought to be close to finalising their transfer activity for this window but remain in discussions over a possible loan deal for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, although the London club would prefer a permanent sale.

In fact, since American businessman Bill Foley assumed control of Bournemouth in early 2023, the club have invested close to £350m in new signings.

Panathinaikos 1 - 1 Rangers (Rangers won 3-1 on aggregate) Not the best performance for Rangers but they got the job done Author | Alan White Stadium | Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis Rangers are now guaranteed Europa League football and will face Viktoria Plzen of the Czech Republic in a third round Champions League qualifier. A closer look at what happened in Athens As was the case during the first half at Ibrox, Rangers looked exposed and were fortunate to survive a barrage of Panathinaikos pressure in a charged Athens atmosphere. Anastasios Bakasetas set the tone with an early effort from the edge of the area, narrowly missing the target. What followed was a sustained spell of dominance from the hosts. Jack Butland, outstanding throughout, produced a sharp save to deny Fotis Ioannidis at his near post, before stopping a powerful close-range header from the same player.

England win Euro 2025 after dramatic final

England 1 - 1 Spain (England won 3-1 on penalties) England etched their name into the history books once again with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Spain. Author | Lauren W Stadium | St. Jakob-Park Chloe Kelly, who famously scored the winner in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley, was the hero once more. She calmly converted the decisive penalty after Spain missed three in a row, with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton making two crucial saves. It is the first time any England team has won a major tournament on foreign soil. The result also reinforces Sarina Wiegman’s status as one of the finest managers in the game , having now secured three consecutive European titles with two different nations. The Lionesses became the first team to win a single-legged Euros final after trailing at half-time, showing remarkable resilience yet again. They had fallen behind in all three knockout matches and once more found a way to respond. READ MORE |  The story of Euro 2025 READ MORE |  New...

Rangers progress despite poor performance in Czech Republic

Viktoria Plzeň 2 - 1 Rangers (Rangers won 4-2 on aggregate) Rangers reached the Champions League play-off stage after surviving a testing night against Viktoria Plzen Author | Mark Lee Stadium | Doosan Aréna Post match in Plzen Lyall Cameron’s second-half equaliser proved the key moment for Russell Martin’s side, who fell behind early and later conceded again during a fraught evening in which Plzen squandered a host of opportunities. Having overcome a tough test against Panathinaikos in the previous round, Rangers’ three-goal advantage from the first leg always looked sufficient to see them through. Yet against opponents seemingly a step down in quality from the Greeks, this encounter turned out to be a far greater challenge than anticipated.  One Rangers fan told us: "It's better to be lucky than good."  They'll almost certainly require a combination of the two if they are to progress to the lucrative League Phase of the Champions League and potentially bring i...
