Bournemouth want Stoke City's Steve Sidwell?

Bournemouth are reportedly weighing up a move for Stoke City midfielder Steve Sidwell.

The 32-year-old joined Stoke last summer but has made just 13 appearances for the Potters since.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is said to be looking to add experience to his squad after witnessing his side lose their opening two Premier League games.

According to Clubcall.com, Howe is hopeful of securing a permanent deal for Sidwell at the right price, although a loan move could be a possibility.

Sidwell has also played for Reading, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Fulham in the Premier League.
