AFC Bournemouth will be hoping to join Norwich City and Watford in making an immediate return to the Premier League this season.

Both Norwich and Watford have sealed automatic promotion back to the Premier League over the last fortnight, meaning that Bournemouth's only route back to the top-flight will be via the play-offs.

The Cherries have been in impressive form of late, too, winning seven games on the bounce before falling to a 1-0 home defeat to Brentford recently.

It promises to be an interesting summer for Bournemouth regardless of promotion or not, though. If they do not go back up, then interest is likely to emerge in some of their most important players.

The onus will then be on whoever takes charge to reshape the squad and build one capable of going one further in the quest for promotion next season.

Here, we take a look at nine transfer developments we could see emerge at AFC Bournemouth over the course of the summer...

Danjuma has enjoyed an excellent campaign for the Cherries.

The Dutchman failed to stand out in the Premier League last season, but has more than shown his quality in the Championship.

The winger has scored 15 goals in 32 Championship appearances, and has registered seven assists.

He has been one of the most exciting players to watch at this level, and if they do not go up this season, it's impossible to see him hanging around in the Championship.

West Ham and Southampton are among those who are said to have been keeping an eye on the winger ahead of the summer.

Another man who could be in demand is David Brooks.

Brooks' signature was hotly contested over in the summer, and even in January, talkSPORT linked Aston Villa with a move for the Welshman.

Brooks has five goals and six assists in 30 league appearances in what has been a difficult campaign with injury, but his quality has certainly prevailed.

The winger is likely to be on his way out of Bournemouth if they do not go up this season, and that would leave many clubs on high alert, you would imagine.

Begovic has been a regular for Bournemouth this season, and a player of his quality won't want to be playing in the Championship for much longer.

The Bosnian has kept an impressive 15 clean sheets in 43 league appearances this season, conceding only 41 goals in that time.

But at 33, he will want to be back playing in the Premier League as soon as possible, whether that be with or without Bournemouth.

It remains to be seen whether anybody comes in for him this summer, but it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see some big clubs approach him towards the end of his career.

Shane Long is set to leave Southampton on a permanent basis this summer, with the Republic of Ireland international out of favour at St. Mary's.

Long has another year left on his deal at Southampton, but the Saints are likely to cash in for good this summer, according to the Athletic.

Since joining the Cherries on loan, Long has scored two goals in nine appearances, but the club may well want to keep him around for longer.

It remains to be seen whether this turns out to be the case or not.

Clarke-Harris was said to be a target for Bournemouth back in March, and it will be interesting to see whether they look to follow up their interest with a bid this summer.

Clarke-Harris was brought in by Peterborough as a replacement for Ivan Toney in the summer, and has been magnificent for Posh this season.

He has scored 29 goals in 44 League One appearances, and won the League One Player of the Season award this week.

Posh are on the verge of promotion to the Championship and will be keen to keep hold of their star attacker, but they may also be tempted into selling if a bid was right.

Brentford, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Cardiff were all recently linked with the signing of Joshua Kayode, as per Football Insider.

Kayode, the Rotherham United man, has spent this season on loan with League Two side Carlisle United, scoring eight goals in 32 games this term.

If Rotherham are relegated, then he could be a good option to have in League One next season with Carlisle unlikely to re-sign him.

But should interest from Bournemouth among others be genuine, it would be very hard for the player to turn down a move to the Championship if the opportunity arose.

Wilshere's deal is up in the summer and it will be interesting to see what happens with him in the summer.

The former Arsenal and England midfielder joined on a deal until the end of the season in January and has since made 13 appearances in the Championship, scoring one goal and registering one assist.

Of those 13 appearances, eight have been starts, so he has been an important player for the club this season.

Whether the 29-year-old will be keen to spend another year potentially in the Championship, or whether the club even want to keep hold of him, remains to be seen.

Stanislas has been such a key player for Bournemouth this season, but his contract situation is a worry.

He penned a contract extension in 2018, penning a deal which will it expire at the end of this season.

Stanislas has scored nine goals and registered five assists in 34 Championship appearances for the Cherries this season and has been a key player in the final third this term.

But if they do not go up, could that sway his thinking when it comes to deciding on whether to sign a new deal or not?

Smith is another player whose contract is up in the summer.

The right-back has been a fantastic servant to the club since joining from Tottenham in 2014, racking up 281 appearances for the Cherries in total.

Smith has made 40 appearances in the Championship this season, registering four assists, and has been a key player under Woodgate.

His contract is up in the summer, though, and he could be set to leave on a free transfer.
