Bournemouth target Stephan El Shaarawy

Bournemouth have reportedly made a loan approach for AC Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy.

The Italy international linked up with AS Monaco on a temporary basis in the summer having struggled to cement a regular place at the Rossoneri.

However, his loan stint has been nothing but a disaster, and has yet to score a league goal for the club.

It has been recently suggested that the 23-year-old could seek a fresh move this month, and according to Sky Sports News, the Cherries have launched a loan bid for the 23-year-old striker.

Eddie Howe's side are currently 16th in the league standings, four points above the drop zone.
