Bournemouth midfielder Dan Gosling has signed a new four-year contract at the Premier League club.

The 27-year-old, who joined the Cherries in May 2014, will remain at the south-coast outfit until at least the summer of 2021.

Devon-born Gosling began his career at Plymouth before moving onto Everton and Newcastle.

'I've really enjoyed my three years here,' Gosling told the club's website.

'It's gone so fast but I believe I've improved immensely, working with the manager and his coaching staff.

'In that time we have gained promotion and spent two years in the Premier League, so it couldn't have gone any better.

'My goal now is to be a mainstay in the side and keep adding to my game.'

Gosling's new contract comes on the back of Bournemouth signing Chelsea defender Nathan Ake for a club-record fee, understood to be in the region of £20million, and England striker Jermain Defoe from Sunderland.

Eddie Howe said Gosling 'has great talent, huge energy and offers real quality to our midfield'

Manager Eddie Howe said: 'I am delighted Dan has signed a new contract as he is a very important part of our squad and what we are trying to achieve here.

'He has great talent, huge energy and offers real quality to our midfield.

'Despite only being 27, Dan also has plenty of Premier League experience and that is crucial for a team that is still relatively new to the division.'
