Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil is convinced by the quality of Illia Zabarnyi.
The young centre-half started in defeat to Manchester United last week.
O'Neil told the Daily Echo: Similar to Brooksy (David Brooks) really, you wanted to put him in and you wanted to see, but it was obviously a relegation battle and the other defenders are in a flow and they know what it's all about.
I thought he was excellent (on Saturday), Zabarnyi. I thought he was really, really good.
Defensively, very good, comfortable with the ball, physically dealt well with Man United's pace so I'm excited to see more of him.
I thought it was a very promising performance."
