Bournemouth left-back Jordan Zemura agrees to join Udinese on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer.

Bournemouth full-back Jordan Zemura has agreed to sign for Udinese on a free transfer this summer.

Since joining the Cherries in 2019, Zemura has made 61 competitive appearances for the club, chipping in with three goals and two assists.

Zemura helped Bournemouth win promotion from the Championship last season, and he has gone on to feature in 19 Premier League games this term.

However, the Zimbabwe international has not appeared for the South-coast side since playing 64 minutes in a 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on March 4.

Having been left out of the last five matchday squads, The Athletic reported on Tuesday that he has been sent to train with Bournemouth's development side for the rest of the season.

Zemura's contract is due to expire and after falling out of favour under Gary O'Neil, he will leave the club in the summer.

The 23-year-old has already found a new home, with Udinese announcing that they will sign Zemura on a free transfer when his Bournemouth contract expires at the end of the season.

Zemura will join the Serie A club as a replacement for Destiny Udogie, who will return to his parent club Tottenham Hotspur when his loan deal finishes.

Udogie signed for Tottenham last summer, but he was immediately loaned back to the Italian side, where he has featured regularly this season, registering three goals and three assists in 25 league appearances.

Although Zemura looks to have played his final game in a Bournemouth shirt, O'Neil still has a couple of left-back options.

Lloyd Kelly, who can also play centre-back, has been utilised on the left side of the Bournemouth defence for the last five matches.

The Cherries can also call upon Roma loanee Matias Vina, who is still waiting to make his first start since joining the club in January.

Bournemouth are sitting three points above the relegation zone ahead of Saturday's Premier League away meeting with Tottenham.
