Cherries eye a keeper

It's the ultimate shop window: a World Cup with 48 teams - all packed with players eager to show what they can do on the biggest stage.

With the transfer window now open, BBC Sport journalists have been taking a look at some of the key names being discussed.

Bournemouth's recruitment is unlikely to be as busy as it was in the summer of 2025, when the sale of several stars meant replacements were required.

The Cherries are definitely in the market for a goalkeeper to provide back-up and competition for Djordje Petrovic, and would probably like a left-footed centre-back to fill the gap left by Marcos Senesi's move to Tottenham which will go through on 1 July. Some of the world's best defenders are on show at the World Cup, but that may not be Bournemouth's target market.

Any other business may depend on whether any of their current stars are prised away. Despite some noise in the media around Alex Scott, Eli Junior Kroupi and Rayan, concrete interest is yet to materialise.
