Bournemouth manager Jason Tindall insists the club will participate in a fire-sale this summer.

Nathan Ake has already left for Manchester City, while David Brooks, Joshua King and Callum Wilson have both been linked with moves away from Vitality Stadium.

Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was recently the subject of a failed £12m bid from Sheffield United.

"I think with any club that's relegated from any division there's always that speculation with players leaving or being linked with other clubs," Tindall told Sky Sports News.

"It's no different to what's happened at this football club for probably the last three, four or five years. A number of our players are always being linked with moves away, you deal with that as and when it comes around.

"The one thing is, the players know what a good football club it is, it's a club that wants to get promoted and I think the club is in a healthy position right now."

Speaking at his first press conference as Cherries manager earlier in the day, he added: "I wouldn't be sitting here now if I didn't have assurances.

"If the club had said fire sale, losing eight or nine players, I wouldn't be sitting here now."
