Bournemouth boss Howe: We didn't buy Hyndman, Cook to just sell them

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe insists there's no pressure to sell his young players.

Howe is adamant Lewis Cook and Emerson Hyndman won't be sold.

He told the Daily Echo: “You don't invest in young players to then move them on very quickly. That defeats the object of our model.

“We look to bring in young and talented players and develop them and make them better. That is a long-term process.

“We are delighted with the progress Emerson and Lewis are making.

“It is great to see Emerson doing so well on loan with Rangers and Lewis has performed excellently since being given his opportunity.

“They are outstanding young players and that hasn't changed from the day we brought them in."

Asked specifically about Cook, Howe said: “We really believe he could have a great career in the Premier League.

“It is great to see one of the young players we signed coming into the team and performing well."
