Andoni Iraola is reportedly on the verge of being named the new Liverpool manager following the club's decision to part company with Arne Slot.
The Dutchman led the Reds to the Premier League title in his debut season but struggled during his second year, with Liverpool finishing fifth in the top-flight and failing to achieve any silverware despite eye-watering investment last summer.
Underwhelming results and concerns over the team's style of play ultimately led to Slot's demise and former Bournemouth head coach Iraola is expected to take over as the new Liverpool boss.
The Basque coach earned a multitude of plaudits during his stint at the Vitality Stadium and despite the sale of several key players throughout his tenure, Iraola managed to guide Bournemouth to their highest finish in the Premier League.
A number of individuals have developed into star names under Iraola's tutelage and a few Bournemouth players might be on his radar in the summer transfer window.
Alex Scott
Alex Scott's development from a raw Championship talent to a consistent Premier League operator is one of Iraola's many success stories whilst on the Dorset coast.
The 22-year-old is perfectly tailored to Iraola's style with his abundant energy, ball-carrying ability and delightful composure.
Scott is currently in negotiations with Bournemouth over a long-term extension to his current deal, which expires in 2028, although there's a growing expectation that the former Bristol City ace will not agree to new terms.
He will still command a substantial fee, which could prove to be a stumbling block.
Eli Junior Kroupi
Bournemouth have unearthed a gem through the Black Knight multi-club model as they plucked Eli Junior Kroupi from Lorient.
The prodigious forward set a new record for most Premier League goals by a teenager for the Cherries last term and a whole host of elite clubs have sat up and taken notice.
A mobile and dynamic forward who is capable of operating as a second striker or out on the flank, Kroupi's got the creativity and movement of a 10 and the precise finishing of a nine.
However, it's going to take a handsome fee to prise the Frenchman from the Vitality Stadium, with reports it will cost buying clubs at least £80m to even get the ball rolling on a potential transfer.
Adrien Truffert
If you've already signed one left-back from Bournemouth, why not sign another?
Milos Kerkez endured a difficult transition from the Vitality Stadium to Anfield, but began to produce performances reminiscent of the player that earned a vast number of plaudits across his two-year spell with Bournemouth.
Adrien Truffert, signed from Rennes in a deal that cost a third of Kerkez's move to Liverpool, had big shoes to fill but excelled in his first campaign in England.
Liverpool will need to address the left-back area this summer following Andy Robertson's departure, although it's understood Kostas Tsimikas would love to remain on Merseyside and fight for his place following a loan spell at Roma.
If the Reds hierarchy decide it's the opportune time to rid of Tsimikas, a Kerkez-Truffert double up would be obscene.
