Teen keeper could save Bournemout­h millions

-

i WAs with Bournemout­h club captain simon Francis when their team to face tottenham was announced, which included goalkeeper Mark travers. it may have been the 19-year-old’s debut but Francis had complete confidence in him. this is a player who ticks every box for eddie Howe — a good shot-stopper who can play out from the back. He backed up his captain’s praise with an amazing first-half performanc­e. He showed incredible composure when Lucas Moura was put through one-onone. travers kept his cool and forced Moura to make a decision. After that performanc­e, Howe should have every confidence that this young man can be part of his first-team squad next season. He certainly doesn’t need to buy another goalkeeper this summer. travers may well have saved his club £30million.
