West Brom eyeing Bournemouth pair Matt Ritchie and Steve Cook

Bournemouth pair Matt Ritchie and Steve Cook are being watched by West Bromwich Albion.

Baggies chiefs are weighing up a double raid on the Cherries for the pair.

Defender Cook is also being watched by Crystal Palace and Leicester City ahead of the January market opening.

Former Portsmouth winger Ritchie hints his future could be tied to manager Eddie Howe.

"We're a good side with good players who work hard together," he told the Portsmouth News.

"Anyone now who thinks of a Bournemouth team thinks of a side who work hard with quality. The gaffer's mentality goes through the club. He's organised and his attention to detail is the best I've seen.

"If we don't get promoted in the next couple of years, I'm sure there will be Premier League clubs sniffing around him. But I'm sure he wants to achieve his ambitions at Bournemouth."
