Next in line

Bournemouth are ready to follow up their capture of defender Lloyd Kelly with a move for £15m Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope. Landing a new goalkeeper is another of Howe’s summer priorities and he has been closely assessing England stoppers Pope and Stoke’s Jack Butland. Offering out-of-favor Asmir Begovic back to his former club Stoke as a makeweight was considered in a bid to try and bring the cost of a deal for Butland down. But Pope, 27, is likely to be the slightly cheaper of the two and Bournemouth are now set to firm up their interest with an opening offer.
