Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is reluctant to lose Asmir Begovic.

The Mirror says Begovic still has a future at Bournemouth – despite being axed by Eddie Howe since April.

The £10million Cherries stopper has not even made the bench in any of Bournemouth's last four Premier League fixtures.

And before last week he was training alone. But with the transfer window for Europe's major leagues shutting a week tomorrow – and no move in sight – Begovic looks likely to be stuck at the club until January.

Bournemouth boss Howe, though, is adamant the ex-Chelsea and Stoke keeper remains a welcome member of his set-up.
