HEAD coach Andoni Iraola insists he is unsure how different Cherries’ starting line-up will look by the opening game of the 2024-25 season.

In his first campaign in charge, Iraola led Cherries to their highest ever Premier League points tally of 48, as they placed in 12th.

One key man has already confirmed his departure, with Lloyd Kelly set to exit on a free transfer at the end of his contract.

There has also been speculation around the futures of Dominic Solanke and Milos Kerkez, while some players are set to return from loan, others likely to push for moves elsewhere for more regular game-time and Cherries set to spend in the market.

Asked how differently he thinks his team will look by the start of next season, compared to the team which was beaten by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge at the end of this campaign, Iraola told the Daily Echo: “I don’t know.

“I would like to keep all the players that we’ve used.

“But whenever the market opens, you do not know what is going to happen.

“I think the club has been working a lot, like all the clubs, to get ready for the market, but I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
