Liverpool forward agrees Bournemouth move | OneFootball

The Instagram page LFC.academy posted on their account about Cornelius Akaunu, who they claim has agreed a move to Bournemouth.

This agreement was confirmed by the player's own Instagram profile, which now includes Bournemouth's account in his bio to confirm that he belongs to the Cherries.

Akaunu is a talented young forward in Liverpool's academy. Only 16-years-old, he has been mostly playing for the club's U17 side and has been at the club since U9 level.

Over the course of the last few months, it has been apparent that he was not going to stay at the club.

Akaunu went on trials to Arsenal and Tottenham while still at Liverpool towards the end of last season. But it seems like Bournemouth have won the race for his signature.

One thing that's guaranteed is that the pathway to the first team will certainly be a lot easier for Akaunu at Bournemouth than it would have been at Liverpool.

That will now be the young attacker's goal, although initially he will likely be playing for the club's U18 and U21 sides.

From Liverpool's perspective, losing Akaunu is a blow. You never want to lose a player who has been at the academy since U9 level. However, it's very clear that he sees his future away from the club, for now.
