I like the pressure, I like being the main man! Bournemouth winger David Brooks tells Jamie Redknapp why the Premier League return can't come soon enough as Welshman aims to fire Cherries to survival

David Brooks under questioning proves to be as cool and confident as he was during his breakthrough season for Bournemouth before he suffered ankle ligament damage.

Next Saturday his club host Crystal Palace and he will make his first appearance for more than 12 months. It could be the most-watched Premier League match in UK TV history, with the BBC making its live broadcast debut, and while that might be enough to bring a bead of sweat to the brow of even the most experienced player, not 22-year-old Brooks.

The Bournemouth winger tells Sportsmail’s Jamie Redknapp why next weekend cannot come soon enough.
