Bournemouth are interested in signing Reading midfielder Oliver Norwood this summer, according to Sky sources.
The 25-year-old has been outstanding for the Royals across 48 appearances this season and Bournemouth have been keen to strengthen in central midfield since last summer.
Northern Ireland international Norwood, who is expected to start at this summer's European Championships, has got three goals and eight assists for his club this season.
Norwood joined Reading in 2014 from Huddersfield, who had signed him on a free transfer from Coventry.
He has made 90 appearances overall for Reading and manager Brian McDermott heaped praise on Norwood earlier this month.

"Ollie's a great lad," McDermott said. "He can score, he can pass, he can tackle. And he's still only young.
"He's got a lot in front of him. He'll be looking forward to the Euros and will be going there in good form."
