Bournemouth have started their campaign in the new season of the Premier League in the worst possible way, having lost both their matches to West Bromwich Albion and Watford on consecutive weekends. They have not been able to score a single goal so far and have conceded four goals already, which is going to be detrimental for the Cherries in the forthcoming days.
The man in charge at Dean Court, Eddie Howe, might look forward to making use of the remaining days in the summer transfer window and bring in a player who can add some flair to the attack. Among a number of players who have been linked with the South Coast club, the name of the young English ace Demarai Gray is being considered as one of the top targets.
The 21-year-old winger has been instrumental in the attack for his current side Leicester City over the last couple of seasons and has registered his name as one of the most exciting prospects in English football for the future. The Cherries have been interested in bagging the player for quite some time now and might be looking forward to making a bid for the youngster to be added to their roster in the next few days.
Known for his brilliant dribbling skills along with his blistering pace, Gray can make darting runs into the heart of the defence as well as play on the flanks, causing trouble for the opposition defenders. He also has the capability to deliver defining balls into the box and help his teammates score goals and keep his team in advantage.
The Foxes are much more dependent on their Algerian playmaker Riyad Mahrez and have been using Gray as only a backup for the former PFA Best Player of the Year award winner. This might be demoralising for the youngster, as he might look to move out of the King Power Stadium this summer and join a club who will be willing to hand him regular first team appearances.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in dire straits with their attack and are looking forward to bring in a player with a considerable amount of striking ability and might look forward to adding the young Englishman to their ranks. However, it might be problematic for them to get the nod in this matter from the Foxes, as they might not be looking to lose one of their most lively players in the present situation.
