Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is happy at the progress he has seen from Emerson Hyndman.

The 22-year-old was on loan at Hibernian for six months.

It was his second spell in Scotland, having previously been loaned out to Rangers. Now he is back with the team, adding to the competition for places in midfield.

Howe said to reporters: "Emerson has done well in Scotland. We are really pleased with the progress he has made."

"From the perspective of dealing with the media, big crowds and high expectations, Scottish football is excellent.

"The football is high-tempo. It's very similar to football in this country where it is blood and thunder and the games matter so much. The supporters are really passionate at every club.

"It has been beneficial for him."
