Fulham will not be getting their hands on Lys Mousset anytime soon.
The struggling Premier league club had hoped they would be able to sign the youngster, but Bournemouth see him as a key part of their plans.
He started the 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Chelsea in midweek and was impressive.
After the game, Howe spoke about the possibility of Mousset leaving: "It sounds like we're going to be left with no strikers at this rate!
"Lys [Mousset] did very well. That was probably his best performance for the club.
"His fitness levels were much improved and technically, he produced a really high-level game and he's a big part of our future."
