Sources: Cambridge United set to strike transfer agreement with AFC Bournemouth

Cambridge United are edging closer to securing the signing of AFC Bournemouth defender Zeno Ibsen Rossi, sources have exclusively revealed to Football League World.

The 21-year-old, who started three of Bournemouth’s first four Championship fixtures during the 2021/22 campaign, spent the second half of the season on loan at Dundee FC.

Football League World understands that Ibsen Rossi is set for a medical at The Abbey Stadium today, ahead of what is expected to be a permanent move to the League One club.

Born in London, the young defender spent time in the academies at Brentford and Southampton before arriving at Bournemouth as a 16-year-old.

It is understood that Cambridge boss Mark Bonner has played an integral role in the young defender’s decision to join the League One outfit, with the U’s set to beat a whole host of clubs, at home and in Europe, to his permanent signature.

Ibsen Rossi is expected to sign a three-year deal with the U’s, with Bonner and Co. looking to build upon last season’s 14th-placed finish.
