Bournemouth are reportedly closing in on the loan signing of Napoli midfielder Jonathan de Guzman.
The 27-year-old is said to have rejected the opportunity to join Sunderland after they pulled out of the race to sign him last week.
De Guzman has previous Premier League experience, having scored 15 goals in 93 appearances for Swansea City between 2012 and 2014.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe is said to have moved for the Netherlands international after Sunderland failed with their bid to sign him.
According to the Daily Mail, De Guzman will join Bournemouth on a season-long loan on Monday.
De Guzman, who has won 14 caps for the Netherlands, joined Napoli on a free transfer from Swansea last summer.
