Impact Unal was signed on the final day of the January transfer window, and the striker is ready to feature for the club after sorting out his paperwork. It remains to be seen if Unal will start right away, especially given how hot Dominic Solanke has been all season long, but he's going to add another alternative upfront for the Cherries.

Visa sorted Unal linked up with Bournemouth after receiving his visa following his transfer from Getafe.

Impact Unal missed out against Nottingham Forest due to his lack of a visa. The forward now has that figured out and is with the club. That means Unal will be eligible to make his Bournemouth debut for a Saturday trip to Fulham. It's unclear what his immediate role will be, though he could be a strike partner for Dominic Solanke if Bournemouth switch to a two striker formation.

Still waiting for visa Unal is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Nottingham Forest while waiting for his visa, Bournemouth announced.

Impact Unal may not be able to make his full Bournemouth debut Sunday as he remains in Spain awaiting his visa approval. While there's no predicting how long that process may take, Unal should be linking up with Bournemouth soon. If he can't go Sunday, Unal will likely target a Feb. 10 trip to Fulham to make his debut.

But the 26-year-old forward is now set for an extended spell on the sidelines after tearing his ACL this week, as he's unlikely to return before 2024. Borja Mayoral and Jaime Mata will have to step up in attacking production and responsibility in Unal's absence.

Impact Unal had a rough outing Sunday, as he did not manage a shot or a chance created in his 83 minutes of playing time.
