HARRY Arter is set to leave Cherries to join Fulham on a season-long loan, the Daily Echo understands.

The Republic of Ireland international completed a medical yesterday with the Championship side and hopes to conclude a switch in the next 24 hours.

Finer details of the deal are still to be confirmed, but it is expected that the loan deal will include a clause whereby the move could become permanent next summer.

Arter, 29, joined Cherries from Woking for just £4,000 in 2010 and has made 255 appearances for the club, netting 29 goals.

He spent the entirety of the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Cardiff City, but returned to feature in pre-season for Cherries during matches against AFC Wimbledon and more recently West Brom on July 26.

Arter was left out of the squad for friendlies against Lazio and Lyon in the past two days and is now expected to complete his switch to Fulham, who are managed by his brother-in-law Scott Parker.

The midfielder still has two years to run on his Cherries contract.
