Sam Surridge enjoys playing for Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe.

The striker is now a member of the first-team squad which headed off to Spain for a 12-day pre-season training camp this week.

And while still in the early stages of his career, the determined frontman is eager to take in every experience.

“I learn every day off the gaffer," he told the Daily Echo.

“If he tells me to do something, I'll do it – I am very level-headed.

“Anything he asks me to do, I take it in and I listen.

“I want to keep on improving. He will ask me to work on stuff and I will try every day."
