Bournemouth have sent youngster Ferdinand Okoh on loan to non-league side Truro City as confirmed on their website.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the 17-year-old midfielder Okoh was described as being “influential” in the club’s EFL Youth Alliance trophy win and as an important player in their run to the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup earlier on this season.
Okoh, who had previously been an academy player at both Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, links up with teen Cherries teammate Owen Bevan at Truro.
Bournemouth look to battle it out right until the very end in their hunt for a return to the Premier League ahead of next season.
Scott Parker’s side are currently second in the league behind Fulham but face stiff competition from the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Queens Park Rangers and Huddersfield Town.
With dreams of becoming a top-flight mainstay, Cherries fans will surely see these loan moves as exciting with young players getting proper match experience in their late teens as they slowly come into contention at their parent clubs.
Next, Bournemouth face Stoke City on Saturday.
