Gallery: Dembele signs on Deadline Day

Siriki Dembele has become the latest player to sign for AFC Bournemouth, arriving from Peterborough United on a permanent basis. 

Born in the Ivory Coast, he began his career in Scotland with the Dundee United academy. 

After a spell with Ayr United, he came south of the boarder and spent a year in the Nike Academy, before a successful trial with Grimsby saw him sign a first professional contract. 

A move to Peterborough proved to be a success and Dembele was part of the squad that won promotion to the Championship last season, scoring in the all-important 3-3 draw with Lincoln on the final day. 

Having now arrived at Vitality Stadium, our club photographer was on hand to capture the best behind-the-scenes action.
