Bournemouth midfielder Emerson Hyndman has joined reigning MLS champions Atlanta United on loan.

Atlanta have an option to buy the United States international when the deal ends on December 31.

The 23-year-old, who has won two caps for his country, has previously spent time on loan with Scottish Premiership clubs Rangers and Hibernian.

Atlanta vice-president and technical director Carlos Bocanegra told his club's website: "We're excited to bring a talented young player like Emerson in to bolster our midfield.

"In addition to his technical, on-the-ball abilities, he performed well in two physically-demanding leagues in the Scottish Premiership and English Championship."

Hyndman has made seven first-team appearances for the Premier League Cherries since joining from Fulham in 2016.

His most recent outing came as a substitute in the 3-3 draw at Southampton on April 27.
