Lewis Cook - Signs four-year extension Cook signed a four-year extension, Bournemouth announced Thursday.

Impact Cook is set for four more years in Bournemouth after playing a huge role in the 2023/24 campaign. The midfielder should be a mainstay in the midfield for the foreseeable future, as he's topped 28 appearances in each of the last four seasons. The midfielder played a career-high 2,792 minutes in the 2023/24 campaign.

Owen Bevan - Signs first team contract Bevan signed a senior contract with Bournemouth, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Bevan has been loaned out the past two seasons but evidently he's done enough to earn a senior contract with the Cherries. It's not clear if he has a real path to first team football but it's still a good sign in his development that he will remain with the club moving forward.

Milos Kerkez - Six crosses in Sunday's win Kerkez registered six crosses (one accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Scotland.

Impact Kerkez recorded six crosses for the second time in three Euros appearances, and recorded his first accurate cross in Sunday's win. He also won one tackle and made one clearance before he was subbed off in the 86th minute for Zsolt Nagy.

Hamed Junior Traoré - Going back to Bournemouth Traore wasn't redeemed by Napoli following a temporary spell.

Impact Traore had a nice month-long stretch but fell out of favor in the final few weeks, partially due to lingering foot issues. He appeared 11 times (six starts) with Napoli, tallying 10 goals (three assists), 11 key passes and eight crosses (one accurate). He might be on the move again since he hadn't played much with Bournemouth until January either.

Milos Kerkez - Whips in six crosses Kerkez generated six crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Switzerland.

Impact Kerkez was on the losing side Saturday but still was decent, as he whipped in six crosses. He also added on one tackle and three clearances in the defense. He should remain a starter moving forward, likely being a solid two-way option in the defense.

Tyler Adams - Available for limited minutes Adams is available for Wednesday's friendly against Brazil but will only receive limited time, according to manager Gregg Berhalter, per Steven Goff of the Washington Post.

Impact Adams is set to play despite nursing an injury, as he is expected to get a few minutes off the bench, likely featuring later on in the match and getting less than 45 minutes of play. This is a positive development for the midfielder, as he should be fit to feature in Copa America as long as he avoids further injury, with the team's opening match being against Bolivia on June 23.

JUNE 11 • ROTOWIRE

Max Aarons - Decent prior to injuries Aarons recorded one assist and kept on clean sheet in 20 appearances (13 starts) this past season.

Impact Aarons started 11 of the first 13 matches of the season at right-back and played well, especially on the defensive end. He then suffered multiple hamstring injuries and appeared in just nine of the final 27 matches with Adam Smith taking over the role. Ultimately it was a disappointing debut season with Bournemouth, so the 24-year-old will look to bounce back next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Milos Kerkez - Decent debut season Kerkez recorded one assist and kept two clean sheets in 28 appearances (22 starts) this past season.

Impact Kerkez had a solid season in his first season with Bournemouth after joining the club in the summer from AZ Alkmaar. He started 22 matches at left-back and most of the matches he did not start were due to injury. He recorded 55 crosses (11 accurate) and 12 chances created on the attack. He played well defensively too, recording 47 tackles, 20 interceptions, 56 clearances and 11 blocked shots. The 20-year-old should see even more playing time next season if he is able to stay healthy.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Smith - Solid season with Bournemouth Smith recorded two assists and kept six clean sheets in 28 appearances (25 starts) this past season.

Impact Smith put together another solid campaign with Bournemouth, starting 25 games at right-back and recording two assists. He had a solid season on defense too, keeping six clean sheets and recording 49 clearances, 37 tackles, 21 interceptions and 11 blocked shots. The 33-year-old has one year left on his contract but currently looks set to have a similar role with Bournemouth next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Senesi - Impressive production from CB Senesi scored four goals, recorded five assists and kept four clean sheets in 31 appearances (26 starts) this past season.

Impact Senesi recorded a whopping nine goal contributions this past season, an incredibly impressive mark for a center-back. He was solid on defense too as he recorded 105 clearances, 55 tackles, 35 interceptions and 23 blocked shots. While his attacking production will be extremely difficult to replicate, his attacking abilities give him great upside heading into next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Illia Zabarnyi - Mainstay in defense Zabarnyi scored one goal and kept eight clean sheets in 37 appearances (all starts) this past season.

Impact Zabarnyi started 37 matches this season and played the full 90 minutes in every one. The only match he missed was due to an illness. He helped his side keep eight clean sheets and contributed 138 clearances, 58 tackles, 34 blocked shots and 33 interceptions. Given how important the 21-year-old was to Bournemouth's defense, he is set to play as large of a role next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - Slows down in 2023-24 campaign Billing scored two goals and recorded two assists in 29 appearances (13 starts) this past season. He also recorded two assists in two FA Cup starts.

Impact Billing started 34 matches in the 2022-2023 season and scored seven goals. This past season, he started only 13 matches and recorded four goal contributions in the Premier League. He started the first 11 matches of the season than lost his place in the starting XI. It's an unfortunate turn of events for the 27-year-old who will look to find his way back into prominence next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Scott - Decent debut season Scott scored one goal and recorded one assist in 23 appearances (11 starts) this past season. He also scored one goal and recorded two assists in three FA Cup starts.

Impact Scott had a quiet debut season in the Premier League, but his contribution in the FA Cup showed his promise. He recorded more goal contributions in three FA Cup starts than his 20 Premier League appearances, although it's worth noting all three of his FA Cup opponents were in the Championship. All five of his goal contributions came during a five-match stretch in the middle of the season, so while he showed how productive he can be, the 20-year-old will need to be more consistent next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Kluivert - Productive first season Kluivert scored seven goals and recorded one assist in 32 appearances (26 starts) this past season.

Impact Kluivert scored seven goals in his first Premier League campaign, the third most on the team. He got off to a slow start, going scoreless in his first nine appearances, but after that he did not go more than three appearances without a goal. Now that he is settled into life in the Premier League, he could have an even better campaign next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Important in midfield Cook recorded three assists and kept seven clean sheets in 33 appearances (32 starts) this past season.

Impact Cook had the best season of his career, highlighted by his career-high three assists. He started primarily in defensive midfield, with two starts in central midfield and one match at center-back mixed in. He helped his side keep seven clean sheets and contributed 61 tackles, 65 interceptions, 43 clearances and 11 blocked shots. On the attack he exploded with 132 crosses and 93 corners after recording 45 crosses and 15 corners during the 2022-23 campaign. After establishing himself as a crucial player in midfield, he will likely maintain that role next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Christie - Crucial in Bournemouth's midfield Christie recorded five assists and six clean sheets in 37 appearances (35 starts) this past season.

Impact Christie became a crucial part of Bournemouth's midfield, starting 35 of 38 matches and only missing one match due to injury. In addition to his five assists (on 55 chances created) he was very productive on defense, recording 86 tackles, 52 interceptions, 50 clearances and 11 blocked shots while keeping six clean sheets. The 29-year-old figures to be an important part of the squad again next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Sinisterra - Decent in limited playing time Sinisterra scored two goals and recorded two assists in 20 appearances (seven starts) this past season.

Impact Sinisterra started just seven league matches but still managed four goal contributions. It could have been more, but he missed nine out of the last 10 matches due to a hamstring injury. He clearly made a good impression on the club given his loan from Leeds was made permanent in February, shortly after he scored and assisted versus Swansea in the FA Cup. The 24-year-old could be in line for an increased role next season, although much of Bournemouth's attack is coming off of productive campaigns.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Tavernier - Productive season with Bournemouth Tavernier scored three goals and recorded four assists in 30 appearances (25 starts) this past season.

Impact Despite playing seven more matches compared to the 2022-2023 campaign, Tavernier recorded fewer goal contributions but his underlying statistics were much improved. He took 53 shots (16 on target), created 44 chances, recorded 116 crosses (24 accurate) and took 59 corners. The 25-year-old figures to be an important part of Bournemouth's squad again next year.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dango Ouattara - Decent season as substitute Ouattara scored one goal and recorded two assists in 30 appearances (12 starts) this past season.

Impact Ouattara split time between left-back and attacking midfield this season, including a lot of time as a substitute. His best performance of the season came on March 9 versus Sheffield United where he scored and assisted in the second half to secure the draw. It ended up being a decent season for the 22-year-old, but he will be looking for more consistent playing time in a more consistent position next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Kieffer Moore - Returns to Cherries Moore will return to Bournemouth following his loan to Ipswich Town.

Impact Moore had a solid loan to close the campaign, finishing with seven goals in 18 appearances (14 starts), helping Ipswich Town toward promotion. However, with Enes Unal now on Bournemouth, it seems like Moore's spot in the team is gone and he'll probably be loaned elsewhere again.

Enes Unal - Makes Bournemouth move permanent Unal has completed a transfer to Bournemouth from Getafe, signing a four-year contract.

Impact Unal only played 320 minutes while on loan the second half of the season, but it was enough to get this contract and remain in the Premier League. He seems more like a possible replacement for Dominic Solanke if he moves elsewhere in the next year. If Solanke doesn't move, it'll be hard for Unal to get consistent starts, seen in the two starts from 16 appearances this past season.

Dominic Solanke - Woodwork hit in loss to Chelsea Solanke recorded two shots (none on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Chelsea.

Impact Solanke came on after 60 minutes Sunday for Justin Kluivert. He made a difference to the Cherries attack through a woodwork hit and a shot that narrowly skirted past the post. It has been a watershed season for the striker that saw him finally demonstrate his potential. He finished with 19 goals, fourth best performance in the league, and three assists.

MAY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Three shots in loss to Blues Semenyo recorded three shots (one on goal), three crosses (none accurate) and created two chances in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 27...

Impact Semenyo was his usual high energy self Sunday. He contributed one of the five shots the Cherries placed on goal but he was always a menace for the Blues defense. The Ghanaian international is developing in the premier league, he posted eight goals and two assists over the season. With coaching and mentoring he has the ability to be a top striker if he can be more composed with his finishing.
