We asked for your views on the loan signing of Alex Jimenez from AC Milan.

Here are some of your comments:

Charl: This is the icing on the cake. Jimenez will fit in perfectly. We've looked slow and tended to go sideways or backwards from this position, which slowed everything down and helped the opposition regroup. This lad has speed and the quality to get forward and back. Bravo!

Tony: Based on the signings so far, despite the loss of key players, he'll slot seamlessly into a side that continues to play great football.

Scott: Jimenez will be the perfect fit for the right-back role.

Bournemouth have completed the loan signing of Alex Jimenez from AC Milan.

The defender, who has made 34 appearances for the Serie A side, joins initially on loan with an obligation to buy.

"I'm very happy," said Jimenez. "I'm excited about this project and that they've welcomed me so well.

"I can't wait to start training with the team and playing with the team.

"It has always been one of my dreams to play in the Premier League and as long as I can fulfill a dream, I will be happy."

President of football operations Tiago Pinto added: "We are delighted to bring a player with such talent into the club and we believe he will be a strong addition to our squad. We're looking forward to working with him once he returns from international duty with Spain."

Meanwhile, midfielder Ben Winterburn has joined Barnet on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old has made seven first team appearances to date and will continue his development at the National League side.

Attacking midfielder David Brooks, speaking after victory over Tottenham about Bournemouth's start to the season: "Our win [over Tottenham] was thoroughly deserved. We were the better team for large parts of the game. The only disappointing thing was that we couldn't put more [goals] away.

"We had opportunities to do so but sometimes you just don't find the back of the net. The win was deserved and it is a massive three points. It always tastes sweeter when it is a team effort.

"We have shown over the past couple of years that if we compete at the level we know we are capable of, we can beat any team.

"There is competition in midfield and that is a great headache to have. We are all striving to be in that starting XI, and bringing the likes of [Eli Junior] Kroupi and [Amine] Adli in offers attacking options for us.

"We have had a very good return from our games so far. If you had asked the gaffer a few weeks ago, he would have taken six points now.

We could have pinched something from our game against Liverpool as well, but overall it's been a good start."

We asked for your views on what is still needed by Bournemouth on transfer deadline day.

Here are some of your comments:

Ben: With the imminent arrival of Alex Jimenez and potential signing of Alex Disasi, I think we've recruited well and we'll have enough depth at the back. I'd love to see another striker and a central midfielder to help encourage competition.

Russ: It's probably wise to start looking for a replacement for Antoine Semenyo because it's surely only a matter of time before the big clubs come knocking, which could be the January window. And it's time to look at the full-back situation too because I don't know how much longer we'll get out of Adam Smith.

Charl: It's almost a sin to suggest, but I think we need another right-back. Smith's days are numbered. We need a versatile full-back who can outpace the majority of attacking front men in the Premier League.

James: We need a back-up goalie as, in terms of senior keepers, we only have Will Dennis as cover. Also maybe a back-up striker.

Today is the second transfer deadline day of the summer following a brief closure in June because of the Club World Cup.

In a change to previous windows, clubs only have until 19:00 BST to complete deals, bringing the Premier League in line with the EFL, Italy's Serie A, France's Ligue 1 and Germany's Bundesliga. The window in Scotland and Spain remains open until 23:00 BST.

It has already been a hectic window - with a number of storylines still to be resolved - but whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Bournemouth.

Here are some of your comments:

Tottenham fans

Ajay: Struggled tactically. We needed a better target man to counter Bournemouth's press and handle their left-wing threat. Adjusting to hit Mohammed Kudus more and utilising Djed Spence made the difference, but should those changes have come at half-time?

Perry: Very similar to many displays last season. We couldn't even get the ball up the pitch and looked completely disjointed. Any team that plays with any sort of energy against us causes us problems.

Richard: Thank heavens for the reality check. New manager with a young but promising squad. We need to give both time (a couple of seasons not a couple of games) to develop. The result was a reminder that, as fans, we need to be patient. Get behind the team and the manager and view the result as part of the learning curve.

Anthony: So disappointing after the start we had. The atmosphere in the stadium didn't lift the players. Spurs fans should be more vociferous. Bournemouth were superb targeting a very off-form Pedro Porro, who should have been substituted earlier. Spurs didn't deserve anything from the game given that our first shot wasn't until the 65th minute. Thomas Frank has his work cut out, but convinced he will do it.

Bournemouth fans

Malcolm: Bournemouth put in the yards and played to their strengths. A brilliant team performance from every player. 1-0 didn't do it justice.

Paul: Exceptional performance. Total dominance in everything but the scoreline. Superb gameplan by Andoni Iraola and he has the players to execute it. A+ everywhere, but a special shoutout to Adrien Truffert, David Books, Marcos Senesi and, of course, the magnificent Antoine Semenyo.

Bernard: Thoroughly deserved the win. Should have scored more to make it more comfortable. Which brings me to our problem of not capitalising on our chances. We need to start killing games off. If we don't, we'll start dropping silly points again. That said, a win is a win. Three points and seventh place to finish Saturday. Onwards and upwards.

Mike: That was a performance that stifled Spurs' play and allowed Bournemouth to dominate. Why oh why do some Premier League teams continue to underestimate the tenacity and ethos of Bournemouth? It baffles me.

Bournemouth have agreed a loan with an obligation to buy deal for AC Milan's versatile full-back Alex Jimenez.

The 20-year-old would have to make 18 starts in the Premier League to see his initially temporary move turn into a permanent transfer.

Jimenez can play in multiple positions - as a wing-back or as a winger on either the left or right side.

The Spain youth international is a product of Real Madrid's academy and has played 34 times for Milan.

The Cherries are also in the market to add a central defender, amid talks with Chelsea's Axel Disasi.

I interviewed Andoni Iraola before the Tottenham match and he smiled at the mention of him naming the same starting XI for all three of Bournemouth's Premier League matches so far.

He admitted he usually likes to mix things up but his team's performances at Anfield and then at home against Wolves had warranted stability.

So, barring injuries over the international break, it will surely be same yet again when Bournemouth take on Brighton next time out because every Cherries player who took the field against Tottenham played close to their maximum potential.

Even by a conservative assessment, Bournemouth could have scored four in north London.

David Brooks hit the bar, had a free-kick saved by Guglielmo Vicario and put in a sumptuous cross with the outside of his boot which Antoine Semenyo should have headed home. There were numerous other chances in both halves.

Brooks and Alex Scott were brilliant together and it must only have been fatigue that saw them both substituted just after the hour mark.

It almost defies belief that Bournemouth could have sold two goalkeepers and three defenders over the summer and yet still look as defensively solid as they did on Saturday. And in attacking postitions, Semenyo, Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier were a constant threat.

What a job Iraola is doing.

It's transfer deadline day tomorrow, with the window closing at 19:00 BST.

How would you assess your window? And if you think work still needs to be done, give us names of who should be brought in or let go.

Andoni Iraola's side have now scored the two fastest goals in the Premier League this season - Marcus Tavernier's fourth-minute effort against Wolves last weekend and Evanilson's winner at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Cherries' relentless high press, their hallmark under Iraola, caused Tottenham all sorts of problems in the early stages, making it impossible for Frank's team to play out from the back.

The visitors were just as impressive defensively, preventing Spurs from having a single attempt until nine minutes into the second half.

Bournemouth lost captain Adam Smith to injury in the first period, but other than that their only source of frustration was their failure to put the game to bed, despite carving out numerous chances to do so.

David Brooks' tremendous outside-of-the-boot cross appeared to have left Antoine Semenyo with a relatively simple finish on 11 minutes, but the Ghanaian's header went inches over the crossbar.

The Bournemouth onslaught continued early in the second half as Guglielmo Vicario saved brilliantly from Semenyo, before Brooks' close-range effort struck the woodwork - moments after the Spurs goalkeeper had saved at the feet of Evanilson.

Spurs only began to apply some semblance of pressure late on, but Bournemouth's new-look defence rarely looked like being breached.

Bournemouth lost a number of key first-team players over the summer, but Iraola's latest vintage looks capable of disrupting the established Premier League order this season.

Andoni Iraola spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Bournemouth's victory against Tottenham: "It was a very good win. We played very well and should have scored and finished the game in a better way. I am happy because I have seen a good performance.

"We missed big chances today. You want to score a second one and kill the game. We haven't done it, same as against Wolves. We had to defend well at the end.

On Adrien Truffert: "We believe a lot. He was playing against a player who is very good. I think he was exceptional. He was cramping at the end. He combined very well with Antoine on the left side."

Antoine Semenyo also spoke to Match of the Day after the win: "We had our chances. Overall, we played really well and made it uncomfortable for them. I was frustrated and it was playing on my mind a bit. I need to get myself in those positions to get more chances. I kept focus and got my head in the game.

He also spoke about Adrien Truffert: "We have a good understanding and been training since the start of pre-season. The boy can run!"

On new singings: "You can feel the improvements from them. We still have work to do but there will be time for everyone to develop.

"There will be some movement in the last days of the market but the club will deal with them and I am looking forward to building more collectiveness. I'm not sure how many because things change so often. I will not be totally in charge.

On Adam Smith's injury: "The worst news of the day - it is his hamstring. He will need some weeks of rest and recovery and the international break is a good moment for that."

Did you know?

Tottenham had just five shots against Bournemouth (one on target), the joint-fewest attempts and lowest expected goals against (0.17) the Cherries have ever faced in a Premier League away game.

This'll be a great game. Bournemouth were excellent against Wolves last weekend and were unlucky to only win 1-0. They've always got an attacking threat and because of that, I always fancy them to score.

But then Thomas Frank's Tottenham have been so well balanced. They've been phenomenal so far.

As for Richarlison, I was told by statman Dave not to get him in my Fantasy Team. I didn't put him in and he's had an amazing start - two goals and one assist.

At home, I fancy Tottenham to nick it.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Tottenham bid to continue their impressive start under Thomas Frank against a Bournemouth side who took four points off Spurs last season. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before their meeting in north London.

Spurs' aim to continue 100% record

Tottenham will hope to continue their strong start to the new campaign at home to Bournemouth, aiming to win their opening three Premier League matches for a fourth time, having previously done so in 2008-09, 2018-19 and 2021-22.

Thomas Frank became just the third manager after Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte to beat a Pep Guardiola side in an away league game with two different clubs when Spurs won 2-0 at Manchester City last weekend.

The midfield trio of Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Joao Palhinha all impressed in Manchester, with the latter winning eight of his duels and Bentancur claiming back possession six times, both the joint highest in the match.

Importance of defensive duo

One thing Frank has had in his favour at the start of his Spurs tenure is the availability of first choice centre-back partners Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven, a luxury not always afforded to Ange Postecoglou last season.

Since the start of the 2023-24 campaign, Tottenham have a 51% league win record when both play, dropping to a measly 25% when one or the other is unavailable.

Bournemouth remain tough to beat

In Bournemouth, Spurs face a team they failed to beat home or away last season, losing 1-0 on the south coast in December before a 2-2 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in March.

The Cherries picked up their first win of the campaign at home to Wolves last weekend, winning 1-0 thanks to a goal from Marcus Tavernier.

Andoni Iraola's side appear to have picked up from where they left off last season in terms of high turnovers with 14 from their opening two games - the fourth most in the league.

Since Iraola's appointment ahead of the 2023-24 season, only Liverpool (134) have created more shots from high turnovers in the Premier League than the Cherries' 126.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Tottenham (kick-off 15:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Lewis Cook and Enes Unal are still unavailable because of injury. Cook is continuing to recover from a medial collateral ligament injury and "could be back in training during the international break", whereas Unal will still be out "long term".

• Julian Araujo will not feature after picking up a red card against Brentford in the Carabao Cup second round.

• Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie's return from injury has been a boost but they both "need more minutes". Kluivert is feeling "quite sharp and at a good level to help", but Christie "didn't have a pre-season so it is normal he isn't at his best".

• There will be more transfer activity before the window closes because "a lot of things always happen in the last two or three days". He confirmed the club are still "looking to sign a centre-back", especially after Chris Mepham's departure this week, and "there could be changes in other positions as well".

• He recognises that he won't have the "biggest squad" to work with this season, but "competition for minutes" within the squad will be "important".

• Iraola explained his philosophy on squad competition: "I want the players to feel like it's expensive to play and to get minutes as a substitute. If this happens, then it is good news. I want everyone to fight for their opportunities."

• The squad were "very happy" after their opening win over Wolves but "very sad" after their cup defeat by Brentford. However, "there isn't a lot of time to enjoy or suffer" and the aim will be to "put up a good game" against Tottenham.

• Bournemouth are expecting a "very physical, high rhythm and demanding" game against Thomas Frank's side, who have won their first two Premier League matches this season.

• Iraola added: "I'm not surprised they are doing so well. He has proven he is a very good manager and he has very good individual players in his team."

• When asked how his side will approach the game, he replied: "The opposite to Wolves. They will want to control and dictate the game. They haven't even conceded a goal yet, so we definitely aren't going to have 65% of the ball like we had the other day. We will have to take a completely different approach."

Bournemouth have opened talks to sign full-back Alex Jimenez on a season-long loan deal from AC Milan.

The 20-year-old can also play in multiple positions as a wing-back or as a winger on either the left or right side. He is believed to be open to a move to the Vitality Stadium.

However, terms are yet to be fully agreed with Milan pushing for a permanent sale for up to £20m.

The Spain youth international is a product of Real Madrid's academy and has played 34 times for Milan.

The Cherries are also in the market to add a central defender, amid talks with Chelsea's Axel Disasi.

Bournemouth's Hamed Junior Traore has agreed to join Marseille on a loan with option to move permanently for €7.5m (£6.5m).

The option of the permanent move is practically mandatory or an 'obligation' as the triggers are likely to be hit - with one being Marseille need to avoid relegation.

Traore joined Bournemouth in January 2023 on loan from Italian side Sassuolo before a permanent deal worth about £20m was agreed that summer.

The 25-year-old has since had loan spells at Napoli and Auxerre and has made 14 appearances in all competitions for the Cherries, scoring once.
