Simon Francis believes Bournemouth are the perfect club for Lloyd Kelly to fulfil his potential.

The Cherries captain has been impressed with the young full-back since he completed his move from Bristol City to the Vitality for £13 million.

Speaking about the signing, he told the Daily Echo: "I saw him a couple of times last season at Bristol City and I know he impressed there. He has certainly got a huge future ahead of him.

"He looks a typical Bournemouth player that I know the manager likes to sign, especially with his age and his quality on the ball.

"I think it's the perfect club for him and hopefully he can progress here and become the top player I'm sure he will be."
