Bournemouth midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh happy with new deal

Bournemouth midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh admits he's happy to have signed a new deal.

The 19-year-old, who signed his first professional deal with the club last summer, has earned a new contract which will keep him at Vitality Stadium until 2021.

The Cherries' Young Player of the Season for 2017/18 said: "Coming to the club three years ago this is a real positive for me and I feel great being here.

"I'm really happy, my family is really happy and I just want to keep moving forward from this point on.

"I found out just before an under-21s game, the gaffer called me into his office and wanted to speak to me, I was a little bit nervous to be fair I didn't know what he wanted to say!

"I thought he wanted to talk about the game or something else I'm not sure! But I was over the moon, he's a great manager and coach, he helps me with everything I need to work on.

"I need to work and listen to all of the coaching staff to make me a better player for the future.

"I want to stay consistent, hopefully be listening to all the coaches at the club I can kick on and my aim is to stay in and around the first team fold."
