Leeds starlet off to Bournemouth
Cherries boss Eddie Howe has been chasing Cook since Leeds rebuffed him in January and has succeeded with a bid for the England Under-19 midfielder, which could rise to £10million with add-ons.
Cook, 19, has entered the final year of his contract at Elland Road and Leeds supremo Massimo Cellino will not stand in the way of his dream of playing in the Premier League.
Cellino likes Cook and his camp because he feels they have behaved honourably in contrast to his strained relationship with Charlie Taylor.
Cellino says he will block Taylor leaving Elland Road, even though the left-back is wanted by Burnley, Middlesbrough and West Brom, because he is unhappy with his conduct.
Taylor, 22, has also entered the final year of his Leeds deal and Cellino is angry that he has repeatedly snubbed his efforts to negotiate new terms.
