Andrew Surman targets new deal at Bournemouth

Andrew Surman admits he's eyeing a new deal at Bournemouth.

While Surman wants to extend his Cherries stay beyond the remainder of his current deal, he admits he cannot afford to look further than next season and a ferocious battle for midfield spots.

Surman told the Daily Echo: "I have two years left here, so we will have to see what happens. I would like to think I will be here for longer but I am not looking too far ahead.

"I am really happy here and I am not looking beyond next season at the moment.

"Last season was frustrating for me, compared to the previous one, because of the injuries I had – but I still really enjoyed it.

"You have to really embrace the fight for places, that is the nature of football. By no means do I think my place is guaranteed. You have to work for it, you really are only as good as your last game.

"Lewis Cook has done exceptionally well since he has come in, Dan Gosling has been fantastic for us – and there is Harry Arter as well!"
