The 25 year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Cherries 12 months after handing in a written transfer request at London Road.

The transfer package is believed to be worth more than the £1.5 million reported elsewhere and includes a bonus for Posh should Bournemouth win promotion to the Premier League.

Dembele scored 31 goals in 175 appearances for Posh following a move from Grimsby for around £200k in June 2018.

Grimsby are understood to be entitled to a sell-on payment which in 2020 the Mariners claimed was 25% of any profit.

Bournemouth manager Scott Parker was keen on Dembele when he was Fulham boss.
