Premier League: Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe happy with club's new signings, still on lookout for more players

Bournemouth: Bournemouth’s early off-season transfer activity has improved the quality of the squad but the Premier League club is still hoping to add a few more players while the window remains open, manager Eddie Howe has said. Bournemouth have signed goalkeeper Asmir Begovic and defender Nathan Ake from Chelsea, and picked up midfielder Connor Mahoney and striker Jermain Defoe on free transfers. Several senior players also signed new long-term deals. [caption id=“attachment_3915227” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Eddie Howe is delighted with the players AFC Bournemouth have signed.

You might get injuries, suspensions or problems and need to be able to replace players if you have to. “I am not going to say no, but we are not, at this moment in time, in desperate need to strengthen.” Bournemouth host West Bromwich Albion in their opening league game on Saturday.
