Bournemouth aim to reach Eddie Howe compensation agreement with Burnley?

Bournemouth are reportedly confident that they can welcome Eddie Howe back to the club as long as they can agree a compensation figure with Burnley.

The 34-year-old, who is the strong favourite to return to the Cherries and replace sacked Paul Groves, left the club last year for Turf Moor.

It is understood that Howe would be open to moving back to his former club if an agreement regarding compensation is met between the two parties, according to BBC Sport.

Howe took this morning's training session as normal.
