He recently featured for Ghana at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, playing against the likes of Portugal and Uruguay.

Upon confirmation of his signing with the Cherries, Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake had his say.

“Antoine is an exciting player and one we have monitored for a while.

The forward becomes the third signing of the January transfer window at the Vitality, following the arrivals of Dango Ouattara and Darren Randolph.

Gary O’Neil will be hoping that the forward can boost his side’s goalscoring numbers, as they look to avoid relegation.

Bournemouth currently find themselves in 18th in the Premier League table.

According to Premier League betting sites, the Cherries are the favourites to go down.
