Eddie Howe has said that he expects Wes Thomas to leave Bournemouth during this transfer window.
The striker has lost his place in the starting lineup, and is thought to be keen to find regular football elsewhere.
The manager told the Bournemouth Daily Echo: "Wes has six months left on his deal here and has a desire to play regular football. At the moment, I can't offer him that guarantee and, because of where he is with his contract situation, I think he will probably move, whether on loan or permanently.
"It has been difficult to get him much game time due to the form of our front players. Wes will feel he needs to earn himself a new contract at the end of this season and, unfortunately, that will not be with us.
"We have had a number of clubs contacting us regarding his availability and although things will have to be agreed with us, it will be very much up to Wes to decide where his future lies."
Swindon Town are among the clubs to be linked with a move for the 26-year-old.
