The busy summer transfer window of Liverpool continues with the sale of the young winger Ben Doak to Bournemouth, although 19-year-old Scotland International now wants a different name
Liverpool has surpassed £ 200 million on sale this transfer window, with the 19-year-old Ben Doak leaving for a fee of £ 25 million. And the Scotland wing player now wants to be called Ben Gannon Doak after his Bournemouth switch.
The Reds of Arne Slot remain active on the transfer market, with an interest in Alexander Isak who is still rumbling and spent almost £ 300 million on people such as Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. However, a large part of this amount is recovered by the sale of players.
Eight stars from the first team have left Anfield, including Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, and another can now be seen the starting door in Gannon Doak. But despite the fact that last year he only goes to Doak in Liverpool and on loan at Middlesbrough, he now wants to be referred by both surnames of his parents and leaving the club with good memories, Bar One Training Ground -Dederning.
Gannon Doak arrived in March 2022 on Merseyside from Celtic as an Academy forecast, where the Scottish Club received a fee of approximately £ 600,000 for its transfer.
He debuted under Jurgen Klopp in a Carabao Cup -similar to Derby County and shortly thereafter he drew his first pro -deal. Gannon Doak became the youngest shot in the Premier League when he appeared against Aston Villa in December.
A knee injury would put him aside for most of the next season, but not embarrassed for a light -hearted training base in which forgotten Reds midfielder Arthur Melo was involved.
The Brazilian only played 13 minutes for Liverpool during his loan period from Juventus, but in March 2023 he went viral for a skill on the training pitch. Klopp's cohort prepared for a collision against Manchester City and started a Rondo, where Gannon Doak did the pursuit.
Melo received the ball, and with Gannon Doak quickly closer, he silted him in silence through his legs, knotted the young shot and left him a red face.
Gannon Doak's countryman, Andy Robertson, started crying with laughter after the performance, and teammates Diaz, Curtis Jones and Nunez were also impressed.
The couple embraced it after the nutmeg, although neither played a role in the subsequent 4-1 defeat against the final Champions City. Melo left Anfield that summer after a temporary spell full of injuries.
Gannon Doak also suffered from spells on the sidelines before his loan moved to Middlesbrough in August 2024. Last November he won the EFL Young Player of the Month Award for packaging five assists in the same number of competitions.
Now Gannon Doak has permanently transferred to the cherries, where he received the number 11 shirt and has opted for a new name on the back to display both surnames of his parents. It has been reported that this deal contains a drill-back option for the Reds.
“I buzz to be here. I feel it is the right moment for me and it is a great opportunity to play football regularly at the highest level,” said Gannon Doak after his move was announced.
“It feels like the perfect fit. The team plays very nice football. It is fast and it really fits my game, so I felt that I couldn't say no to the chance of playing here.”
