Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook has officially signed a new contract until 2024, the club have confirmed. The news comes with the Cherries looking to gain promotion to the top flight two years after their relegation. Cook is a crucial part to those ambitions, too, as one of the mainstays in Scott Parker’s side before his long-term injury.
So far this season, under Parker, the Cherries have enjoyed an unbeaten start in the Championship, winning against Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City and drawing against Blackpool, West Bromwich Albion and Hull City. Next up, they square off against Barnsley, hoping to gain all three points.
