Agyemang-Badu emerges on Bournemouth's radar

Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has emerged as a target for Bournemouth, according to a report in the Sun.

After taking the Cherries beyond the 40-point mark in their first ever top-flight campaign, manager Eddie Howe is now looking to build for next season and £4 million-rated Agyemang-Badu is reportedly on his shortlist.

The 25-year-old is a regular for Udinese and has scored four goals in 27 Serie A appearances this season.

He has also featured on 62 occasions for Ghana, having made his debut as a 17-year-old.

Stoke City were previously linked with a move for Ageymang-Badu, but the Potters signed Porto's Giannelli Imbula instead.

In January last year, the self-confessed Manchester United supporter told Goal that he would welcome a move to Liverpool following reports in the Italian media citing interest from the Reds.

And moving to Bournemouth may be Agyemang-Badu's best shot at playing for either of the aforementioned pair.
