Parker confirms Bournemouth still in the market for new signings

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker admits they are still in the market for new signings.

The Cherries are hoping to win promotion to the Premier League after losing out in the playoffs last term.

Parker, whose side were beaten 2-1 in a friendly by Chelsea on Tuesday, suggested they are still active in the summer transfer window.

They have already signed Leif Davis from Leeds on a loan with an option to buy.

He said, per the Bournemouth Echo: "We are in the market looking for players. We need to strengthen the squad in certain areas.

"Ultimately, that's not down to me. People in place at this football club have done a fantastic job in terms of recruiting.

"My sole focus is trying to develop the team. Bring the team forward, coach the team every day and I have full trust in the people in places to bring the players in that we need."
