Bournemouth defender ​Simpson: I want to be the future

Jack Simpson is hoping that his showing against Manchester City boosted his case for regular game time.

The 22-year-old is hoping that he can get more appearances with Bournemouth.

Simpson was impressive in defence as the Cherries lost 1-0 to Manchester City at home. And he is not shy about admitting he wants more games this season.

Simpson told the Daily Echo: "I'd love to be the future of the club. But there is still a lot of hard work, preparation and training to be done and I still need to work on things.

"Hopefully, I can push on and become a regular.

"I want to play in the Premier League as much as possible but we will have to wait and see what happens between now and the end of the season.

"I was pleased with my performance against Manchester City and I'd like to think I showed I am more than ready to play in the Premier League."
