The transfer market could be about to hot up for the Cherries. The Daily Mirror's transfer feed is reporting that Eddie Howe is keen to bring 23-year-old Philip Billing to the south coast. The central midfielder has been liked by the Cherries' boss for some time, according to the paper and now it appears that with Huddersfield's relegation their is a chance to bring the Dane to Bournemouth.
What does this mean for the shape of AFCB's midfield if Billing can be attracted? It is going to be a scramble for places with Gosling, Surman and Lewis Cook the players coming under pressure to maintain their form playing next to Jefferson Lerma. It would also be likely that Harry Arter would be allowed to leave, perhaps along with Emerson Hyndman.
It is a reasonable move to bring in a Premier League player who could become a full Danish international and is fully aware of what the top league is all about. AFCB would give Billing the platform he needs to progress his career. How much AFCB need a central midfielder who again is not renowned for his goalscoring is another issue. I'd like to see AFCB develop the squad with players that can reach their full potential, but knowing which young players are the right ones to pick is becoming more challenging. One thing Billing would give AFCB is more height at 6ft 4ins.
This summer appears to be a transfer window that could be made up of bringing players in that are still trying to build their reputations. Whether that builds enough excitement for the fans for the new season we will only see if AFCB get off to a good start.
