Bournemouth Morning Round-Up, Thursday 5th November 2026: Cherries Jet Into Prague as Tavernier Transfer Talk Heats Up

It's matchday for the Cherries, with Bournemouth travelling to the Czech Republic to take on Sparta Prague in the Europa League this evening at the epet ARENA (BBC Sport) (AFCB.co.uk). AFCB.co.uk have put together their usual pre-match guide with everything fans need to know ahead of kick-off (AFCB.co.uk), while BBC Sport caught up with a travelling supporter who described the trip as a "pinch me moment" after making the journey out to see the club in European action (BBC Sport).

Away from the pitch, there's plenty of transfer chatter surrounding Marcus Tavernier, with TeamTalk reporting that his impressive form this season has caught the eye of some big names up top. The report claims both Arsenal and Manchester United are keeping tabs on the midfielder, with suggestions United could move to beat the Gunners to his signature (TeamTalk). As ever with this kind of speculation, it's one to watch rather than take as done business, but it's a sign of how well Tavernier has been playing if it's turning heads at that level (TeamTalk).

So all eyes turn to Prague this evening, where Bournemouth fans both home and abroad will be hoping for a positive result in the Europa League (BBC Sport) (AFCB.co.uk).
