Boss will be committed to Bournemouth
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has insisted that his future is committed to the Cherries and has rubbished media speculation linking him to Arsenal.
Speaking on Thursday ahead of the Cherries’ Premier League home clash against West Brom, Howe said: “I’d rather be linked doing something right than the other way, but my only focus is winning with Bournemouth.
“It’s very hard to predict the future. If you try to then you come unstuck. In football management, you live week to week.
“You turn a blind eye to speculation and anyone that tells me about it I believe it is not meaningful and it doesn’t help me get results for this club.”
Jack Wilshere may make his competitive debut for the club after his surprise loan move from Arsenal towards the end of Deadline Day.
Asked about the England midfielder, Howe added: “He has settled in very well with the changing room and dynamics of the group. He’s given the whole club a lift and raised levels in training.
“He’s been very bright in training & his technical ability is of a very high level. We’ll see what my team selection is.”
