AFC Bournemouth have plenty of talent within their youthful squad, with many currently out on loan gaining valuable minutes and experience. Plenty are performing well in other leagues around the UK and will be hopeful of coming back to the south coast ready to flourish within the Cherries squad.
The Cherries have as many as five players within their squad who are currently out on loan in differing leagues within the UK. In the main, those away on loan are at their respective clubs to gain much needed game time and experience, but some are seemingly surplus at Bournemouth and aiming to make their loan a more permanent destination.

Up in Scotland, the Cherries have a couple of their right full backs playing at the two giants, Celtic and Rangers respectively. In the early stages at Celtic, the lively Julian Araujo was really starting to impress the supporters with some big goals and memorable moments. Sadly for Julian his promising start has been cut short with a significant injury, which in turn has really hampered his hopes of making the Mexico World Cup squad. Araujo will most probably be hoping to stick around at Celtic, having built up and early connection with the fans, alongside Bournemouth signing right back competitor Alex Jimenez, and extending the contract of right back stalwart Adam Smith. The other up in Scotland is Max Aarons, who is still plying his trade at Rangers. Max has struggled with injury setbacks and has found it difficult to nail down the full back spot at Rangers, a real sad decline for the right back once linked with Barcelona during his outstanding Premier League campaign with former side Norwich. It certainly feels as if Aarons' time as a Bournemouth player will be reaching its permanent end in the near future.

In English League Two, and play off chasing Barnet already had a couple of ex Cherries in Nnamdi Ofoborh and Ryan Glover within their ranks, before securing the loan signing of Bournemouth youngster Ben Winterburn. Ben may have started the season as a Premier League substitute at Anfield on the opening day, but he has since ventured to League Two to help Barnet's impressive promotion charge. His game time has maybe been more limited than anticipated, but Winterburn is an integral part of the squad and gaining much needed minutes in England. Up to League One and Leyton Orient will be hoping their mid season loan signing of Cherries stopper Will Dennis, will help keep them afloat of the division's danger zone. Will quickly grabbed himself the number one shirt and has excelled in the sticks, hoping his presence can keep Orient in League One for another season.
Finally to the Championship, where Cherries youthful frontman Daniel Jebbison is competing to lead the line for Preston North End. Preston are one of the few sides who's season has petered out somewhat of late, and Jebbison has also had a consistently inconsistent campaign in Lancashire. Daniel has scored a respectable six goals but has found himself coming in and out of the side throughout his loan. He'll certainly want to end the season strongly to remain in the thoughts of Canada boss Jesse Marsch ahead of the World Cup.
