Bournemouth hand trial to winger after impressive displays – Weekly evaluations

Bournemouth have invited Wimborne Town winger Ángel Díaz to train with their reserve squad on trial until late December or early January, with weekly evaluations.

Bournemouth have handed 19-year-old winger Ángel Díaz a trial opportunity with their reserve squad, beginning Monday. The Chilean winger, currently with seventh-tier Wimborne Town, will be evaluated weekly through late December or early January 2027 with a view to earning a permanent first-team spot.

Díaz has impressed at Wimborne this season, recording six goals in six starts and 11 appearances overall, plus an assist in the FA Cup first round. His performances have attracted interest from multiple Premier League, Championship and League One clubs, but he has prioritised the Bournemouth trial due to a prior commitment.

The player said he came "with a specific goal, to develop and compete at the highest level." Díaz joined Wimborne from Colo-Colo's U18 academy earlier this year after failing to secure first-team opportunities in South America.
