Bournemouth boss Howe excited by Lys Mousset potential

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has been impressed by summer arrival Lys Mousset.

The 20-year-old, signed from Le Havre over the summer, replaced Jack Wilshere at half-time during Warren Cummings's testimonial and proceeded to give the AC Milan defence a torrid time during a lively second half.

Howe told the Daily Echo: "Lys will come into the frame if he carries on playing like he did. He came on and could have scored three or four and that's the biggest compliment I can pay him. He was terrific.

"He has a great attitude and has been a joy to work with. He's hungry and motivated and most importantly he wants to score goals and has that mindset. He is very direct and will take the bull by the horns and attack."
