Michail Antonio: There was a real paucity of proper wingers in England’s squad this summer, seemingly an area where options are few going forward.

Last season featured the first time in Bournemouth’s history that they recorded a win against West Ham.

Remember when…

Callum Wilson scored a hat-trick at Upton Park last season.

Player to watch…

Lewis Cook: He was a glimmer of hope for Leeds fans last season and the 19 year old walks straight into the Cherries midfield with a great deal of promise. Cook has been in particular praised for his ability on the on the ball and could become an important part of Bournemouth’s squad.
