Groves eyes Addison deal

Bournemouth boss Paul Groves says he is hopeful of signing Derby defender Miles Addison on a permanent deal.

The 23-year-old spent the latter part of last season on-loan at Dean Court and became a firm favourite amongst the Cherries' fans due to his combative displays. Derby boss Nigel Clough has already said the former England under-21 player will be allowed to leave Pride Park this summer and Groves is hopeful he can persuade him to return to the South Coast. "Miles is someone will are still continuing to do work around," Groves said. "He is somebody we are still looking to pursue and still looking to secure."
