Alex Toth
AFC Bournemouth have completed the signing of highly-rated Hungary midfielder Alex Toth from Ferencváros in a deal worth £10.4 million, as the Premier League club continues to strengthen its squad in the January transfer window.
The 20-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Cherries, with the agreement also including up to £2.6 million in performance-related add-ons and a 10 per cent sell-on clause in favour of the Hungarian champions.
Toth attracted strong interest across Europe, with Benfica, Galatasaray and Lazio all understood to have monitored his situation closely before Bournemouth moved decisively to secure his signature.
Speaking after completing the move, the defensive midfielder expressed his delight at joining the south coast club.
“When I knew AFC Bournemouth were first interested in me, I was excited and happy because this is a good club in the Premier League, the best league in the world and the strongest league,” Toth said. “The whole club, the whole structure is great.”
Toth arrives in England with growing international experience, having already earned nine caps for Hungary. He has spent his entire club career in his home country, including a loan spell at Soroksár during the 2023–24 season.
He made his senior debut for Ferencváros in December 2024 and has since featured 52 times for the league champions, scoring four goals while also gaining valuable experience in European competitions.
Bournemouth’s head of football operations, Tiago Pinto, believes the young midfielder is well equipped to make the step up.
“He has come from a club that is used to competing at the highest level in Hungary, while also featuring in Europe, so we’re excited about what he can bring to us in Bournemouth as he continues to develop further under the coaching of Andoni [Iraola],” Pinto said.
