Jimenez's only goal for Bournemouth came in a 3-2 home win over Liverpool in February

Serie A club Fiorentina have agreed a season-long loan deal for Bournemouth's Spanish defender Alex Jimenez.

The deal includes a 20m Euros (£17m) option to make the move permanent, and means he can continue to play after being suspended by his club pending the outcome of an investigation into social media allegations.

The 21-year-old was dropped from Bournemouth's first team in May following what the club said was a "serious matter" relating to "posts circulating on social media".

Jimenez initially joined the south coast side on loan from AC Milan before signing permanently in February on a deal running until 2031.

The Spain Under-21 international made 32 appearances for Bournemouth last season, scoring once.
