Lee Camp: "Bournemouth have got first dibs on me"

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Lee Camp has said that his contract talks with Bournemouth are moving towards a "positive ending".

The 29-year-old is currently on loan at the Cherries, but he looks poised to join them on a free transfer in January when his short-term deal with the Baggies expires.

"Talks are still ongoing," Camp told reporters. "Obviously they have slowed down a little bit the last couple of days over the Christmas period, but as far as I know it's in the hands of my representatives and the football club.

"I'm in the shop window and Bournemouth have got first dibs on me. If I didn't want to be here we wouldn't be having talks, and if I didn't want to be here I wouldn't have come here in the first place.

"There isn't really much to say on it. It's a difficult position, because with respect I want to keep my position the way I am and the club want to keep theirs, so talks are ongoing and we are moving towards what I think will be a positive ending."

Camp has made nine Championship appearances for Bournemouth, conceding 12 goals.
