AFC Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is excited about his side's loan signing of Roma attacker Juan Iturbe.
The Premier League team paid a loan fee of €1.2 million with a further variable €1m to be paid "for bonuses linked to the achievement of the club and the player of certain sporting goals" and have an option to sign the 22-year-old on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.
Iturbe did not have clearance to make his debut in time to face Leicester City, who Bournemouth held to a 0-0 draw on Saturday despite playing for much of the second half with 10 men following Simon Francis' red card.
He told Sky Sports: "If we get clearance and work permits - which we are hopeful to get - he will bring us a bit of pace, a bit of creativity and guile.
"He is a talented boy and we hope he fits in well."
He continued: "I think when you play with 10 men for such a long spell in the game, to come away with anything is a huge result and full credit to my players for that.
"No matter how we got it, I think is definitely a point gained and I have to compliment my players."
