LEWIS Cook revealed how the chance to join a Premier League club had been too good to refuse.

The 19-year-old midfielder completed his move to Dorset from Leeds United last week for an undisclosed fee believed to be around the £7million mark.

Having penned a four-year deal, prospect Cook linked up with his new-team-mates at their pre-season training camp in the United States.

Cook said: “The manager has done great things here and likes working with young players.

"There are quite a few younger players here and I feel that will benefit me and help to progress my career.

“I’m only 19 so I’m still young. You need to look for those managers who want to improve young players and he has faith in me to improve – I’m excited.

“It’s a big change for me, I loved it at Leeds but I felt it was time for a change and I couldn’t say no to playing in the Premier League, it’s every boy’s dream. I want to enjoy every moment of it.”

Cook was speaking to the club website.
