Eddie Howe has admitted he is still hopeful of bringing in a few additions before the end of the transfer window.

Bournemouth have signed goalkeeper Asmir Begovic and defender Nathan Ake from Chelsea, and picked up midfielder Connor Mahoney and striker Jermain Defoe on free transfers, while they have tied up long-term deals for several senior players.

'I'm happy with what we've got,' Howe told the Daily Echo. 'We acted early in the market and are delighted with the players we have signed.

'To say that we were finished would not be accurate because I never consider our business done.'

Bournemouth have already had a £20million bid rejected by Leicester for Demarai Gray and Howe has admitted he is still looking to add more recruits to avoid the risk of lacking depth later in the season.

'You just don't know what will happen. You might get injuries, suspensions or problems and need to be able to replace players if you have to.

'I am not going to say no, but we are not at this moment in time in desperate need to strengthen.'
