Bournemouth forward Christian Saydee is set to join Burton Albion on loan, Football Insider understands.

Burton are in the market for striking reinforcements before the transfer window closes after seeing Sheffield United recall Daniel Jebbison early from his loan spell with the Brewers.

A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Bournemouth are happy to loan out Saydee, 19, so that he can get some regular first-team experience and Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink sees him as an ideal replacement for Jebbison.

This site revealed last month (21 December) that Saydee was in advanced talks over a new contract.

The youngster's deal expires at the end of the current campaign.

Saydee made two one-minute cameos in the Cherries' opening two games this term.

The West Lond-born hitman has also made two appearances in the League Cup and one in the FA Cup.

He scored his first senior goal in the 5-0 win over MK Dons in the League Cup in July, registering an assist in the same game.

Saydee came through the ranks at Reading before switching to Bournemouth's academy in 2018.

The likes of Daniel Solanke, Jaidon Anthony and Jamal Lowe are all well ahead of him in the pecking order at the Vitality Stadium.

Jebbison was Burton's top scorer before he returned to Sunderland, with eight goals.

Hasselbaink's side are currently 10th in League One, 10 points off the pace in the race for the playoffs.
