Harry Arter has stated that he is enjoying Bournemouth's challenging pre-season campaign so far.

Following a top half finish last season, Bournemouth will be looking to make further progression during the upcoming campaign and the Cherries have been working hard over pre-season to get their fitness levels to peak conditions.

Arter said: "I am enjoying the hard work purely because I know that by the end of it, I will be in the best physical condition that I can be in.

"I know that in the long term, the best thing is to get your work in as early as you can and ultimately that's what pre-seasons all about.

"Pre-season is about working as hard as you can to get fit, but we were pleased to get the win. You want to try and build momentum with wins and you can never get bored of winning."
