Eddie Mitchell: 'There is money to spend'

Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell has insisted that there is money to spend on improving the squad this summer.

The Championship outfit have been strongly linked with a move for Malmo striker Tokelo Rantie in recent weeks, but it is understood that the Swedish outfit have thus far repelled the interest.

"We wouldn't be looking if there weren't [the necessary funds]," Mitchell told the Daily Echo.

"We are not on a time-wasting mission. We are seriously looking and that would indicate there are funds available."

Bournemouth currently sit 15th in the Championship table.
