David Brooks ‘expecting’ an offer from Leicester/ Man United still considering winger

An update on the future of David Brooks has, on Tuesday, been provided.

Brook’s Bournemouth stint

David Brooks joined Bournemouth in the summer of 2018 from then Championship outfit Sheffield United.

The Cherries are understood to have paid Sheffield United just over £10m for the attack-minded midfielder’s services.

Brooks would go on to enjoy a fruitful debut campaign on the south coast, notching seven goals and five assists in 30 Premier League outings.

However, the Welshman’s 2019/20 campaign was then riddled with injury.

Brooks suffered ligament damage last July, and was originally expected to be out until December.

However, the 22-year-old was then forced to undergo a second operation, meaning he had to wait until June to feature for Bournemouth this past season.
