Bournemouth have announced the signing of defender Veljko Milosavljevic from Red Star Belgrade for £13m.

The 18-year-old Serbia Under-21 international is a product of the Red Star academy and became the third youngest player in the club's history last season.

Milosavljevic made 10 appearances in Red Star's Serbian SuperLiga winning team and has featured in the Champions League play-offs and opening league matches so far this campaign.

"I am very happy to be part of the Bournemouth family," Milosavljevic said on the move. "I can't wait to meet my team-mates, the staff and fans of the club.

"It was always my dream to play in the Premier League as it is the best league in the world.

"I can't wait to start working with Andoni Iraola as I've seen the progress that young players can make working with him."

Milosavljevic is expected to be the Cherries' eight and final addition of the summer transfer window.
