Bournemouth have announced the loan signing of Juan Iturbe from Roma until the end of the season, making him the first premier league new recruit of january window as he arrived and subject to a work permit and ratification from the Football Association.
The Roma forward, an Argentina Under-20s international who has previously been capped by the Paraguay senior team, becomes the first player to join the Premier League in the January 2016 transfer window.
Juan has made 13 of his 18 appearances for the Giallorossi this season as a substitute before securing a switch to the Cherries, which might be made permanent in the summer for an undisclosed fee.
He arrives with Eddie Howe's side three points above the Premier League's relegation zone with half of the season complete and is set to compete with the likes of Matt Ritchie and Junior Stanislas for positions on the flanks.
The 22 year old forward participated in training with the Cherries on Friday but will not be eligible for Saturday's trip to high-flying Leicester City.
