Bournemouth defender Steve Cook believes that the Cherries can finish in the top-eight next season.

The 26-year-old is confident that the Cherries can become a very strong force in Premier League in the coming years.

He said: "I think we can finish higher than ninth next year. That's the plan.

"The club is really going places and I think it can become a very strong force in English football.

"We have a great team and a great bunch of lads. I'm sure the manager will have his targets to fit in with our group."
