Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is tightlipped over a move for Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland.

Bournemouth are understood to be keen on signing Butland.

But Howe insists: "We haven't formulated any plans regarding transfer targets or anyone towards next year, we're firmly looking at this season. I'll have conversations with the owner and respective people at the club towards the close of the season where we'll formulate our plans.

"As I said, without formulating our plans it's ridiculous to think we're considering any positions. It's not the time for that at the moment, it's time to concentrate on our next game."
