Eddie Howe happy with Bournemouth squad after summer signings

Eddie Howe does not plan to make any more major signings at Bournemouth before the summer transfer window closes.

The south coast side's manager has brought in eight new recruits so far and broken the club's transfer record in paying £15m to import Jordan Ibe from Liverpool.

Howe, however, feels he is now content with his squad and will only make youth additions if he does any more business.

He said: "We are satisfied and we're 99 per cent of the way there. I don't want to add too many more to the group, we're quite high in numbers. 

"There's potentially one position we might look at, but whether that will fall for us, I don't know. Again, it would be a young player, one for the future rather than for the now.

"Unless we do that deal, we'll stay as we are.  I think our name is certainly better known now, so that certainly helps.

"The first season in the Premier League when speaking to targets from abroad, there is that unknown. 

"We were not an established Premier League name, but we're now better equipped to make signings." 

Live Nissan Super Sunday

Howe, meanwhile, has urged his team not to be distracted by the excitement which comes with West Ham's opening league game at London Stadium this weekend.

Bournemouth will be the first Premier League visitors to their opponents' new home for their Super Sunday match - live on Sky Sports 1.

Howe added: "There's going to be a lot of hype surrounding Sunday, but none of that matters to us. We must focus on applying ourselves.

"Whoever you play there is always going to be an angle. This is no different. We must focus in the right way."
