Eddie Howe is confident of keeping his top players at Bournemouth beyond the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
Cherries star Callum Wilson has been linked with moves to Chelsea and West Ham and is reportedly valued at \u00a350million.<\/p>\n
Howe let veteran striker Jermain Defore join Rangers on loan earlier this month, but he is not expecting any more departures from the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Bournemouth boss said: \u201cWe’ve had no interest in any of our players, everything has just been speculation, which you understand, this is the month for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am sure it will not be the last thing that we hear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think from my perspective and the team we have above me, we are always working together to try to find solutions to make the team better, the squad stronger and make the team continue to go forward. They are the main things.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will do that again, like we have done through the process that we’ve been together, for the benefit of Bournemouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilson, 26, is Bournemouth\u2019s leading goalscorer with 10 goals this term.<\/p>\n
And Howe has told the England international to not let himself get distracted by talk of a big money transfer.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI don’t want to place any more pressure on Callum or any of my players in my team by talking about things that aren’t important really.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat’s important for me is Callum working hard for the team, producing his best performances and on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor him, thinking about transfer fees, values and other clubs, I would recommend that he focuses on Bournemouth and our games to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
