Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has admitted the team are facing some challenges in the transfer market.

The Cherries do want to add to their squad, especially as they are without nine first teamers through injury.

The likes of Callum Wilson and Nathan Ake are the latest victims.

But Howe admitted that it would be tough for him to sign too many players in January.

He told reporters: "I think the difficulty with January - there's a combination of things.

"The money that players would cost, the quality of players you can attract is very difficult. I have always tended not to focus on that.

"If we can find something there, that may be a bonus, but I think we have to focus on the players we have."
