It has been reported this weekend that Atletico Madrid are poaching a member of Bournemouth's groundstaff, Dan Gonzalez, to become their head groundsman at the new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

The Independent said the Anglo-Spanish Gonzalez has handed in his notice with the Premier League side and leaves for Madrid in the coming weeks.

Gonzalez has been working under head groundsman Robin Wilcox at the Vitality Stadium, where the Cherries regularly receive compliments from visiting managers on the playing surface.

With Gonzalez's move, it now means of course that both Madrid clubs employ a British groundsman, with Paul Burgess famously in charge of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for Real.
