Newcastle United, Middlesbrough want Harry Arter?

Newcastle United and Middlesbrough are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter.

The Englishman, who has been at with the Cherries since signing from Woking in 2010, only made 16 appearances in all competitions last term.

According to The Sun, manager Eddie Howe is keen to offload Arter after the club signed Colombia midfielder Jefferson Lerma in a club-record deal on Tuesday.

The newspaper adds that Cardiff City and Stoke City are also in the hunt for the 28-year-old, who is valued at around £10m.

Arter has three years left on his current deal on the south coast.
