Gillingham born defender Luis Binks has sealed a dream move to Italian Serie A side Bologna.

Binks has put pen to paper on a four year deal that will see the centre back stay with current side Impact Montreal in the MLS for the remainder of 2020.

The move, which was announced Thursday, speaks to Montreal’s longstanding relationship with Bologna, with Joey Saputo owner of both clubs.

“We had an opportunity to see his quality last winter during his first four games with the Impact and more recently in Florida, and we’re excited for him to join us,” Walter Sabatini, Bologna FC and Montreal Impact global sporting director, said in a statement.

“This transfer once again demonstrates the synergy between the two clubs and the new philosophy in place in Montreal.”

Binks, 18, originally joined Montreal in February from Tottenham Hotspur, having featured predominantly with their youth teams.

He’s since started five games for Impact Montreal in the MLS, twice in the Concacaf Champions League and during their MLS Is Back Tournament Round of 16 clash.

Binks, who regularly speaks to Kent Sports News, will be giving us his exclusive thoughts on his dream move in the coming days.
