Bournemouth midfielder Jefferson Lerma is fielding Premier League interest.

Lerma, off contract in June, is a target for Crystal Palace and promoted Burnley, says The Sun.

However, there's hope at Dean Court that the Colombia international will sign a new deal and stay.

Cherries manager Gary O'Neil said: Hopefully Jeff decides to stay and hopefully there can be an agreement reached.

But I think you see from his performance [against Fulham], there's absolutely no issue.

I get on great with Jeff, and he gives absolutely everything every time he plays.

So, yeah, no problem with the situation. And Jeff's in a good spot."
