In response to the transfer market, Iraola said he would first focus on restoring injured players to health

The "Cherries" Bournemouth will host the "Toffees" Everton at home in the 20th round of the 2024/25 Premier League . Facing a month-long transfer market, Andoni Iraola said that what he is most concerned about at the moment is to get the injured players back to health, but he also hopes to keep all the players.

After Evanilson and Dango Ouattara scored, Bournemouth tied Fulham 2-2 in the last round of the league away game. After 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 rounds, Bournemouth is currently ranked 7th in the standings with 30 points and still has a chance to fight for a European qualification.

When asked about the team's recruitment this month, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said: "For me, the biggest concern at the moment is to get the players we have and the players with injuries back to health as soon as possible. We need them badly and that will be our main focus."

"But when the transfer market opens, it is really unpredictable what will happen, but we will wait and see. The winter transfer window is usually not easy, and the club is working hard. But many times, it depends on the opportunities that appear in the market. Some things are out of control, and I don't know what will happen in the end."

Andoni Iraola also said, "If we can sign a player who can bring immediate changes to us and help the team, I think every coach will say 'Contact him immediately and ask him to come tomorrow'. But the winter transfer window is always difficult, and I believe the club is working hard, but I am not sure what the final result will be."

When asked if he was worried about losing some key players in this transfer market, Andoni Iraola said, "This is not the club's plan. We hope to keep all the players, especially those who play in almost every game. We certainly can't guarantee it because this is the market and we can't predict what will happen, but this is definitely not in our plan."
