Rico set for Bournemouth medical after £10.7m fee agreed

Borussia Dortmund were also understood to be keen on the 25-year-old, but his desire to play in the Premier Legaue appears to have swayed his decision.

Rico is expected to sign a four-year deal on the South Coast as looks set to become Eddie Howe's second summer addition following the capture of David Brooks from Sheffield United.

The defender has made 58 appearances for Leganes since joining them from Real Zaragoza back in 2016.

Born in Burgos, Rico played 33 games for Madrid-based Leganes last season as they finished 14 points clear of relegation, notably being sent off in a 3-2 win over Real Betis in the final game of the season at Butarque.
