Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell has insisted that there is money to spend on improving the squad this summer.
The Championship outfit have been strongly linked with a move for Malmo striker Tokelo Rantie in recent weeks, but it is understood that the Swedish outfit have thus far repelled the interest.
"We wouldn't be looking if there weren't [the necessary funds]," Mitchell told the Daily Echo.
"We are not on a time-wasting mission. We are seriously looking and that would indicate there are funds available."
Bournemouth currently sit 15th in the Championship table.
