Brazil striker Evanilson will have a medical on Thursday after Bournemouth agreed a club-record £40.2 million transfer deal for the 24-year-old with Porto, according to a report.
Bournemouth will pay £31.7m with potential add-ons of £8.5m for the Portuguese club’s top scorer last season, BBC Sport has said.
The Cherries sold their leading marksman in 2023/24, Dominic Solanke, to Tottenham last week in a move worth up to £65m.

Evanilson: Porto to Bournemouth
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has made Evanilson his eighth signing of the summer as he bids to build on a promising first season in charge which resulted in a 12th-placed finish.

Solanke was responsible for 19 of their 54 top-flight goals, with their total fewer than any team above them and two teams lower in the table.
Iraola was linked to a move for Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah but now appears to have turned to Evanilson, breaking a transfer record set when Jefferson Lerma joined for £25m from Levante in 2018.
