Bournemouth have been linked with a swoop for Dijon striker Lois Diony ahead of the summer transfer window.
With Premier League survival guaranteed, Eddie Howe’s focus has been moving towards the transfer window as he looks to strengthen his squad for next season.
Despite Joshua King’s goalscoring form since the turn of the year, the Bournemouth boss remains keen to add more goals to his squad in the summer and it seems his sights have turned toward Ligue 1.
According to French sports daily L’Equipe, Dijon forward Diony is one of Bournemouth’s top targets for the transfer window and the club are keeping a close eye on him.
The 24-year-old’s creative sparks and goals have kept Dijon just out of the relegation zone in Ligue 1 ahead of the final weekend of games and he has managed to attract the attention of several clubs.

Diony has already announced that he will be leaving Dijon in the summer, but it is not clear whether he would want to move to England or choose to continue playing for another Ligue 1 club.
The Ligue 1 side have accepted that they will lose their star striker and are hopeful of earning a transfer fee between €10m to €15m.
