The full-back man has signed on a loan deal until the end of the season, with an obligation to buy next summer if a certain condition is met.

Jimenez reveals Premier League dream
Upon his arrival, the former Real Madrid man revealed that it has realised a dream by completing a move to the Premier League.
“I’m very happy.,” Jimenez told the club’s official website: “I’m excited about this project and that they’ve welcomed me so well. I can’t wait to start training with the team and playing with the team.
“It has always been one of my dreams to play in the Premier League and as long as I can fulfill a dream, I will be happy.”
Jimenez can play on either side of the backline and is also comfortable playing further forward when required, making him a versatile option for Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.
With that said, he will likely compete with Julian Araujo and Adam Smith for the right-back spot, although the latter is currently an injury concern after being forced off in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

When could Jimenez make his Bournemouth debut?
Jimenez will have to wait until after the international break to make his first appearance in a Bournemouth jersey.
Bournemouth supporters should get to see Jimenez in action for the first time when Iraola’s side play host to Brighton & Hove Albion on September 13.
The Cherries are currently sitting in seventh place in the Premier League standings after taking six points from their opening two matches.
