Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is expecting an exciting summer market.

Beating Craig Shakespeare's Leicester on Sunday in a ­play-off to decide the Premier League's highest-placed English manager could see the Cherries finish eighth.

Howe said: “I think Jack's (Wilshere) signing will help in the ­summer. Signing a player of Jack's quality, his name, it definitely changes the exposure of the club. I think that served to get our name around the country, almost around the world. The Premier League is global.

“People are aware of Bournemouth now and maybe a couple of years ago with our promotion to the Premier League, they wouldn't have been. They would have been impressed by the story but now we are quite well known.

“Hopefully Jack, potentially, could be the first of a few to help us reach a ­bigger pool.

“There are very few players that will make us stronger. Hopefully there will be no negative surprises for us.

“I want to keep the squad together, keep our best ­players and try and add quality to the group if we can. If we can do that, it will be another good window for us."
