Bradbury to land Robins winger
Sky Sports understands Bournemouth are closing in on a deal for Swindon Town ace Matt Ritchie.
Bournemouth have held a long-term interest in Ritchie and had a bid rejected for the former Portsmouth man earlier this season.
Swindon rejected Bournemouth's offer in December, but the Cherries have now come back with an improved bid as they look to finally land the 22-year-old.
Ritchie has been a stand-out performer for Swindon this season and has been one of the best players in League Two.
The Robins are reluctant to lose Ritchie, but it seems Bournemouth are set to bring in the winger before the transfer window slams shut on Tuesday night.
