The signing comes after Cherries owner Bill Foley bought a 33 per cent stake in Lorient last week, just a month after he took over Bournemouth in a deal believed to be worth around £ 120 million.
The Texas-born businessman is understood to have bought a 33 per cent portion of the Ligue 1 outfit, with a view to investing more at the end of the current season with a view to completing a full takeover in the future.
His performances had alerted the interest of numerous Premier League teams, including struggling West Ham, Southampton and Everton.

After a poor start to the season, Cherries boss Gary O’Neil has improved Bournemouth’s fortunes and they find themselves just one point out of the bottom three.
However, the Cherries have lost their last four Premier League games and have a crucial game with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Bournemouth are also considering an offer for 23-year-old Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo.
Recent injuries to Dominic Solanke and Marcus Tavernier have left O’Neil short in attack, which the Cherries now hope to bolster.
