Bournemouth have completed the signing of goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Premier League champions Chelsea.
It is understood that the Bosnia international is moving to the English south coast club for a fee of about £10 million (€11.5 million).
They say he has signed a "long-term" contract with the club and will join on July 1st.
Speaking to the Bournemouth official website, Begovic said regular football was a key part of his reasoning for making a move from Chelsea.
"AFC Bournemouth is an exciting, ambitious club which has everything in place for a very bright future," he said.
"Being part of a title-winning team at Chelsea was amazing but I felt now was the right time to move on because I want to be playing regular football.
"I am coming into an important part of my career and I want to show people what I am capable of.
"When I spoke to Eddie Howe I knew AFC Bournemouth was the right club for me and I want to bring my experience to the squad, both on and off the pitch.
"I’m really excited to be part of the journey here and hope I can help take the club to another level."
Begovic made just eight appearances in all competitions last season for Chelsea, including just two in the Premier League.
