Eddie Howe weighing up permanent Bournemouth offer for Lee Camp

On-loan West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Lee Camp could become a permanent Bournemouth player, Cherries boss Eddie Howe has said.

The 29-year-old stopper is on loan with Bournemouth until the New Year when his contract at West Brom expires.

Having never played for the Baggies, it is unlikely that Camp will be offered a new deal at The Hawthorns and Howe says that he is considering a permanent contract offer for the Northern Irishman.

"He has come in and you can see he has got that Championship experience behind him," Howe told BBC Radio Solent. "Nothing phases him.

"His distribution from the back has been key to our recent performances so [offering him a permanent deal] is certainly something we will look at."

Camp recently said that he would be open to a longer stay on the South coast.
