Eddie Howe is unsure if he'll add to his Bournemouth squad this month.

The Cherries boss has not guaranteed there will be incomings at Vitality Stadium ahead of deadline day next week.

Howe told the Daily Echo: "It's always been tough to buy British. I think the pool of players of all nationalities in this transfer window is as small as it's ever been.

"No one really wants to lose any players, everyone wants to keep their squad intact and I'm the same.

"That then means fees are inflated and sometimes you are not sure the quality is better than you already have, so it's a tough window to recruit in.

"The summer window is much better, I think you get more value for money and a bigger choice of players, but every club is in the same position."
