Bournemouth skipper Tommy Elphick is excited at the recent transfer activity undertaken by the Cherries.

The likes of Juan Manuel Iturbe, Benik Afobe and Lewis Grabban have joined the Dorset club so far in January to strengthen the attacking talent at the disposal of manager Eddie Howe and Elphick believe all three are quality inclusions at the Vitality Stadium.

"It's now three really exciting new players in the dressing room," he told Cherries Player HD.

"It's great to see we have been so active in the market this early. It's brilliant to see us getting our business done so early and so well.

"The squad is very strong now and it's great for the club. It just proves to show what direction we are going in."
