Bournemouth manager O'Neil delighted with Vina progress

Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil believes it is too soon to discuss the future of Mati Vina.

The left-back impressed again for the Cherries during a 3-1 loss to Chelsea.

The Uruguayan is on loan from Roma in Serie A since January, with the club having an option to buy him for €15 million.

O'Neil told the Daily Echo: “It was nice [goal against Chelsea].

“It was sort of nice to see some stuff that we'd worked on in the week that we thought would be, on the way we progressed the ball up the pitch a few times today.

“There was some big quality in it and obviously an incredible strike from Mati.

“He was a real threat going forward for us, down that left side. I think he had the goal, another shot that he worked Kepa with, big chance, second half where we get him in behind one-v-one.

“He was a real threat going forward."
