The 26-year-old, who scored 10 goals for Middlesbrough last season, has signed a three-year contract with the Premier League newcomers
Bournemouth have completed the signing of Lee Tomlin from Middlesbrough.
The 26-year-old forward joins the Premier League newcomers for an undisclosed fee and has committed to a three-year contract.
Tomlin scored 10 goals last season for Middlesbrough as they reached the Championship play-off final, only to lose to Norwich City and miss out on joining his new club in the top flight.
"Lee is a player who we are excited about and will get fans off their seats," said Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake. "He is someone we have followed for some time and believe will fit seamlessly into Eddie and Jason’s plans.
"The promotion race in the Championship last season was incredibly competitive and Lee was a key figure in a Middlesbrough side who went very close to going up.
"We believe he is ready to make the step up and look forward to seeing him play in the Premier League.
"Like the club, he has had to work hard to get to this point and is eager to make the most of this opportunity.
"We are very pleased with the business we have done this week, and on the whole this summer, and feel it is a marker of our ambitions this season."
Tomlin's arrival comes quickly after Eddie Howe's side completed the signing of Max Gradel from Saint-Etienne earlier on Tuesday.
