According to sources close to the deal, Bournemouth will not be signing Jamie Leweling from Stuttgart after all. The midfielder had been heavily linked throughout the window, but the deal is now dead in the water. Reasons for the collapse remain unclear, though it marks a blow to Bournemouth's plans to bolster their squad. Talks collapsed before reaching an agreement, and with no other clubs involved, Jamie Leweling remains at Stuttgart. Bournemouth's 25/26 record of 1.9 goals conceded per game shows they're missing balance in midfield. Someone like Jamie Leweling could give them more structure and help them manage games. Alongside this, Stuttgart are said to be exploring Darryl Bakola with Bournemouth likewise connected to Ethan Nwaneri, Othmane Maamma and Issahaku Abdul Fatawu. More on this story as it develops.
