Who is Cherries new man Toth?

Hungarian football expert Bence Bocsak has told BBC Solent Sport that new Bournemouth signing Alex Toth is the "ultimate professional" and explained how the midfielder's career has been different to his compatriot; Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai.
The 20-year-old Hungary international has joined on a five-and-a-half-year deal from Ferencvaros.
"The thing about Toth is he can play as a number eight, he can be a box-to-box player, but he has played as a holding player in the past," said Bocsak.
"I don't think he's going to be a destroyer type, and as a holding midfielder he's more of a deep-lying creator. And he can also play more advanced as a number 10. He's played all of those roles for Ferencvaros, but more importantly he's played all those roles for the Hungary national team against Portugal and other big nations.
"He's very experienced at a high level already because he's been playing regular Europa League football, so he's not coming directly from the Hungarian league because that's a big step to the Premier League.
"Everyone that you speak to about him, everyone that's worked with him has praised his character. He's not a Dominik Szoboszlai that was tipped to be a star the minute he came into the Hungary national team at 16 years old.
"Alex has had to wait for his time. He's worked hard. He's put in a lot of work. He's been the ultimate professional throughout his time then eventually got his opportunity because of his character.
"He's learned from Naby Keita at Ferencvaros and his manager is Robbie Keane and he's been working really closely with him, and he's taught him a lot. He's developed him a lot as well and his arrival at Ferencvaros has been really important for his development. This is his fourth manager now and all of them have had their faith in him from when he was really young at 18 years old.
"He's got a lot of intensity. He's a good presser so number 10 will probably be the role he could play in this Bournemouth side at the moment.
"In terms of that intensity we know [Andoni] Iraola's football, it is focused and high pressing and being really good in those final third areas when you lose possession. Alex is really good at that. For me, that would probably be his role, maybe coming in for [Justin] Kluivert."
