AFC Bournemouth have a plethora of talent within their squad, with many currently out on loan gaining valuable minutes and experience. Plenty are performing well in leagues around the UK, but also they have many trying to improve their own games in Europe and South America.

The Cherries have as many as three players within their squad who are currently out on loan in differing leagues around Europe. But in Luis Sinisterra, they have a player out in South America, his loan move is over in Brazil with Cruzeiro. Despite some memorable moments for the Cherries, Luis' spell on the south coast has been blighted by injuries, and his loan to Cruzeiro was in anticipation of a permanent move, with an option to buy clause within the loan deal. However, due to an all too familiar theme of injury setbacks, it looks as if Cruzeiro won't be taking up their buy option. With a new head coach for Bournemouth from next season, Luis may have one last chance to prove his fitness and value to the Cherries squad perhaps. 

Over in Poland and young stopper Alex Paulsen is continuing his growth out at Lechia Gdansk. Certainly feels as if Alex could be one for the future at Bournemouth, he had an impressive loan spell with Auckland and is now performing excellently in Poland. It is expected that Paulsen will be at this summer's World Cup with New Zealand, another chance for him to show his future Premier League credentials.

A player that's really struggled to make any impact at Bournemouth is French attacking midfielder Romain Faivre. Since his arrival he's just been continuously shipped out on loan, currently back in France with AJ Auxerre. Romain actually began this season on loan in the Saudi Pro League with Al Taawoun, but was recalled from the Cherries to just be sent out to France with Auxerre instead. He's actually performing pretty well in France, where his flair is perhaps more suited. Faivre will definitely be hoping he can help keep Auxerre in the French top flight and in doing so finally find a permanent move away from Bournemouth, where his spell has never really got started. 

Another Cherry on loan in France is the Ivorian midfielder Hamed Traore. Despite plenty of injury setbacks and illness, Hamed has always been someone who many Bournemouth fans saw potential in, but just maybe hasn't suited the style, which is why his current loan has an obligation to buy within it. He is currently doing well at Marseille in a league he is fond of and will be keen to kick on and find a new home at the club. Traore is another of a bunch of Bournemouth players who has needed more regular minutes ahead of the summers World Cup, with him hoping to be a part of the Ivory Coast squad.
