Bournemouth keeper Ramsdale reveals he's Howe's No1 - for now

Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has revealed he has the full backing of manager Eddie Howe.

Ramsdale is currently the first-choice.

He told the Daily Echo: "He (Howe) said, 'The shirt is now yours until you give me a reason to rethink it'.

"It was a big deep breath moment and a celebration inside, but obviously you've got to keep your feet on the ground.

"It's taken a bit of time to sink in - I got sort of thrown in. But that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to hit the challenge, full steam ahead. The manager has shown so much belief in me and hopefully I can repay him with performances."
