Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks would not be drawn on teammate Ryan Fraser's decision to leave on a free transfer.

The winger has not agreed to a short term extension, which rules him out for the rest of the Premier League season.

Fraser will find a new club when his contract expires on June 30th. And Brooks had no opinion to give on Fraser's decision during this process.

"I'm quite good friends with Ryan off the pitch," Brooks told reporters after a loss to Crystal Palace.

"I don't really want to speak too much on his situation. It's his life, it's his career. He's obviously chosen his situation.

"The gaffer has made it clear that if you don't want to be in it with us right to the very end, then you won't play.

"Ryan has decided to move on his career. All the boys have wished him the best of luck, but he's not really got anything to do with the rest of the season for Bournemouth now, so we've got to pick ourselves up, move on and try to get out."
