Tottenham Hotspur's teenage defender Adam Smith has joined League One Bournemouth on a one-month loan deal.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe has snapped up the 19-year-old England Under-19 international after his regular defenders Lee Bradbury and Stephen Purches picked up injury problems.
And he is delighted to give Smith the opportunity to play more first-team football after his loan stints at Wycombe Wanderers and Torquay United last season.
"I have been aware of Adam for a long time," Howe told the Daily Echo.
"I watched him for the first time in a pre-season friendly about two-and-a-half years ago and he impressed me straight away. He is someone we have always kept tabs on and we are delighted to bring him here.
"
We are fortunate to have two very good right-backs, but unfortunate that we have lost them both to injury at the same time.
"We are lucky that we are in a position to bring in a loan player as cover. Hopefully, Adam will enjoy his time with us and his stay will benefit both parties."
