Bournemouth are ready to splash £3.9million on 18-year-old Polish keeper Bartlomiej Dragowski – likened to legendary No.1 Jan Tomaszewski.

Brian Clough infamously wrote off Tomaszewski as “a circus clown in gloves” before watching the object of his derision stop England from getting to the 1974 World Cup.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe is not joking though and wants Dragowski on the recommendation of Artur Boruc.

Poland Under-21 ace Dragowski plays for Polish top-flight club Jagiellonia Bialystok – and starred in the Europa League earlier in the season.

He has also been linked with moves to Chelsea and Juventus.

Dragowski’s dad Dariusz said: “There is a transfer offer for Bart from Bournemouth.

”From what I understand, Artur Boruc personally recommended him to them.”
