Sinisterra completes permanent Cherries move

AFC Bournemouth are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of winger Luis Sinisterra.

The Colombia international signs a long-term deal at Vitality Stadium, having impressed while on a loan spell from Leeds United this season.

Speaking to afcb.co.uk, Luis said: “I’m really happy to make this move. I’m excited to play for Bournemouth for the long term.

“I feel really comfortable here and the fans are really nice. When I meet them in the streets, they show the love.

“I’m really happy here and I’ve settled really well; I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.”

The 24-year-old has turned out 17 times for the club in all competitions, scoring his first goal in the defeat to Manchester City in November.

His stunning strike against Fulham earned him the Strategic Solutions Goal of the Month for December.

Sinisterra added a further effort in the FA Cup win over Swansea City and has also contributed three assists during his time at the club.

Neill Blake, chief executive at AFC Bournemouth, said: “Luis has shown his considerable quality on the pitch and he’s a popular member of the dressing room.

“We believe he’s only going to get better, and we’re excited to continue to work with him on a long-term basis.”
