Newcastle United midfielder Matt Ritchie is keen on a return to Bournemouth.

The Mirror says Ritchie is looking to move back to his old club.

He was disappointed when a planned transfer back to the south coast collapsed during the January window.

Now for family reasons he is anxious to make it happen this time around despite him being popular with the Newcastle fans.

Bournemouth will welcome back the Scot as they seek to try for promotion from the Championship again next season.
