Eddie Howe "more than happy" with Bournemouth squad

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe insists that he will be "more than happy" if he does not add to his squad in January.

Eddie Howe has insisted that he is "more than happy" with his Bournemouth squad should the club fail to add players during January's transfer window.

The Championship leaders have been linked with Birmingham City's Demarai Gray, but are yet to add to their squad since the window re-opened.

The manager told the Bournemouth Echo: "In terms of incomings, there is no news. We're not closer to signing anybody. We are looking at one or two players but that's as far as it's gone.

"It's a very difficult window to recruit in and transfer fees could potentially be inflated. We've been linked with a host of players. All I'd say to the Bournemouth fans is, don't always believe what you read. We will do our business in private.

"If we don't add to the squad, we won't be losing any sleep over that. It's a very competitive squad with almost two players for every position. We're more than happy to go with what we've got."

Bournemouth sit just a point clear of Middlesbrough at the top of the table.
