Eddie Howe Hints at New Bournemouth Contract for Veteran 'Keeper Artur Boruc After First Team Return

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has suggested goalkeeper Artur Boruc could remain at the Liberty Stadium, despite his current deal expiring this summer.

Asmir Begovic was signed from Chelsea for £10m in 2017 as the long-term replacement for 39-year-old Boruc. The Bosnian played every minute between the sticks during his first season with the Cherries and began this campaign in similar fashion. However, a downturn in form saw Begovic axed, with his Polish counterpart being given an opportunity by Howe instead.

Boruc returned to the side in January for the Premier League home fixture with West Ham United, keeping a clean sheet during a 2-0 victory.
