Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to BBC Radio SOlent before Sunday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest.

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Iraola is unsure if new signing Enes Unal will be able to feature on Sunday as he is waiting for news on his visa application.

• The Cherries boss explained why he had moved the Turkey striker: "He’s a complete number nine. He’s a threat from long range, from free-kicks and overall he’s just really good."

• There are no new injury concerns following Thursday's draw with West Ham and winger Dango Ouattara may be in contention after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

• However, Iraola did say it was "not an easy game" for Lloyd Kelly, who was substituted off with cramp, adding it "was demanding and physical" against midfielder Jarrod Bowen.

• On Kieffer Moore's loan move to Ipswich Town: "I think it’s a situation that could have happened last summer, but we decided it was better for him to stay. This time everyone wanted to try and find another number nine, so if he could go somewhere and play more minutes that helped."

• He said his squad "have very little time to prepare" for the game against Forest on Sunday: "We know what we are going to face. They have had good success against strong opposition."

We asked you for your thoughts on Thursday's Premier League match between West Ham and Bournemouth.

Here are some of your comments:

West Ham fans

Dave: Yet another poor performance. The team appear to have run out of ideas and just look at Moyes' face - he has no ideas either. Sullivan, Brady and Moyes out now. We try to sell or loan out players and then give excuses for not getting players in to replace them. We are fed up, it’s the same every transfer window. Your time is up.

Colin: Too lackadaisical, too slow, too negative, very poor passing. The best form of defence is to attack with pace, that's what Bournemouth did and exactly what we should be doing as technically we have the more gifted players. I'm not against David Moyes as he has done a fantastic job at West Ham but we need to see more attacking, entertaining football.

Keef: Bournemouth deserved three points for sure. We seemed second best in every department. Results-wise, Moyes has clearly achieved with sixth, seventh and a trophy, but as a season ticket-holder, I have to say it’s very hard to watch at times.

Gerald: West Ham have been playing poorly for some time. When you park the bus in most games then try to play football in other games it shows. Their passing is poor and they look disjointed. Moyes has to either sort this out quickly or admit that he lacks ideas and stand down.

Bournemouth fans

KC: Very comfortable performance from the Cherries and a well-deserved point away from home. This team are great to watch and it’s a pleasure to see Iraola’s work paying off. Some interesting signings during this window too. Looking forward to seeing Enes Unal in action!

Dan: Thought we played well. West Ham lined up well and made it difficult to break down, but we should have made more of our chances. One of those nights where you just take the draw and move on. Shame to see Brooks go this week - think he could have made a difference and changed that game with some wizardry.

Bomo: Once again Alex Scott is the star man. Probably will go to Spurs in the summer.

Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke is now just one goal off the top of the Premier League's leading scorers after netting in Thursday's 1-1 draw at West Ham United.

Solanke has 13 Premier League goals so far this season, just behind Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah, who both have 14.

Former Hammers winger Matt Jarvis told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast: "He's so sharp. The goal is probably the easiest one he's going to score this season, but he's in the right area, he knows where to be.

"He showed his strength when he was 50-50 with Kurt Zouma and knocked him on the floor - there aren't many who do that. He's got pace and he was using it. You can see why he scores that many goals.

"It's fantastic for Bournemouth that they've been able to keep him because there will be a lot of teams that will be wanting him."

Bournemouth have completed the signing of striker Enes Unal from Getafe on loan until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old made 109 appearances for the La Liga club since joining from Villareal in 2020, scoring 26 goals in all competitions.

Unal, who has 32 caps for Turkey, has only played in three La Liga games this season and started just one match.

He was bought by Manchester City in 2015 when he 16, but made no competitive appearances for the club, instead spending time on loan with Genk, NAC Breda and Twente.

Neill Blake, AFC Bournemouth’s chief executive, said: “We’re really pleased to welcome Enes to the club and believe he’ll add strength to our front line.

“He’s proven that he can score goals in multiple different countries, and we believe he’s got the skillset to succeed in the Premier League.”

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola to BBC Match of the Day:

"I think we have to value the point. It's a difficult stadium to come to. But I think if someone had to win today it was Bournemouth.

"We had the most clear chances. We probably weren't clinical enough to score a second, go 2-0 up and win the game. At the end they scored from the pen and we had to go with just one point.

"We had our moments to score the second one and finish it, but we didn't.

"I think we've played very good the last two games. We've gone to the next round of the FA Cup, OK we get just one point today but we have to value it.

"We were closer to the three points than we were to losing. We have to continue pushing."

"I think if someone had to win today it was Bournemouth."

That was Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola's first answer to BBC Match of the Day.

The Cherries will be disappointed not to leave London with all three points having created chances at will in the first period.

West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola was forced into two brilliant saved to deny Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier after both had been put through by Solanke.

Even after West Ham's leveller the Cherries had the better chances, Kelly having an effort saved from a tight angle and Ryan Christie dragging a shot wide.

"We had the most clear chances," added Iraola. "We probably weren't clinical enough to score a second, go 2-0 up and win the game.

"I think we've played very good the last two games. We've gone to the next round of the FA Cup, OK we get just one point today but we have to value it."

Bournemouth enjoyed success in the FA Cup in January, but are still waiting for their first Premier League win since 26 December.

They face Nottingham Forest at home on Sunday, a side who have won just two of their past 14.

Bournemouth midfielder Gavin Kilkenny has joined Fleetwood Town on loan.

The 24-year-old has made 24 appearances for the Cherries following his first-team debut in 2020.

Kilkenny spent the first half of last season on loan with Stoke in the Championship, and the second part with Charlton Athletic.

He will now link up with League One side Fleetwood, who are currently sat in 24th position.

• West Ham extended their Premier League unbeaten run to six games (three wins followed by three draws), their longest run without defeat since September 2021 (7).

• Bournemouth have now gone three games without a win in the Premier League (D1 L2), after winning six of their previous seven (D1).

• West Ham’s three draws in a row is their longest streak of Premier League stalemates since another three in April 2017.

• Since the start of November, Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke has scored nine goals in the Premier League, more than any other player in that time.

• Only Joshua King in 2016-17 (16) and Callum Wilson in 2018-19 (14) have scored more in a single top-flight campaign for Bournemouth that Solanke has managed this season (13).

• With only his second-ever touch of the ball in a West Ham shirt, Kalvin Phillips registered an error leading to a goal, as many as he had made in his whole Premier League career before tonight (one error in 65 games).

James Ward-Prowse's second-half penalty spared Kalvin Phillips' blushes and rescued a Premier League point for West Ham against Bournemouth at London Stadium.

New Hammers signing Kalvin Phillips had a debut to forget when he passed the ball straight to Dominic Solanke who put Bournemouth in front inside three minutes.

But West Ham were gifted a way back into the game when Lloyd Kelly caught Mohammed Kudus in the penalty area and Ward-Prowse netted the spot-kick straight down the middle in the 61st minute.

Neither side were able to find a winner on a cold night in the capital.

The Hammers, without a win in their past four games, stay sixth in the Premier League table, while Bournemouth move 12th, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Bournemouth centre-back Owen Bevan has completed a loan move to Hibernian until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old spent the first half of the campaign on loan at League One Cheltenham Town, making 14 appearances for the club, but was recalled after an injury.

He made his Premier League debut for Bournemouth at Anfield in 2022, coming off the bench in a 9-0 defeat to Liverpool, and also featured in their League Cup win over Norwich the same season.

Bournemouth and Wales striker Kieffer Moore has signed for Ipswich Town on loan until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old previously played for the Championship outlet between 2017 and 2018.

"It’s great to finally get it over the line because it’s been a long time coming during the window,” Moore said.

“I remember my first spell here and I’ve gone away and worked very hard on myself during that time, so I’m delighted to be back and can’t wait to get going.

“I was really excited when I spoke to everyone here and now I just want to meet the group, get out on the pitch and contribute.”

I met a scout at a game against Brentford and when he mentioned his club, he said; "We’re frightened to death of breaking any rules, so it looks like we can’t do much at all."

That tells you everything.

Everyone is very limited - there are few ins and outs and a few swap deals but nothing significant.

Usually the big deals have a knock-on effect as it releases a couple and we get movement, but it’s been very quiet and agents have not been that busy.

I think there are lots of late deals to happen but will we see a bigger one? I don’t know.

Chelsea's Armando Broja seems to be getting all of the speculation at this point in the day.

Michael Brown was speaking to BBC Sport's Katie Stafford

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

For this week's midweek games, he takes on Chelsea fan Matthew Vaughn, director of new spy film Argylle.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

This is not an easy one to call. West Ham have been stretched by injuries and, other than that heavy defeat by Liverpool, Bournemouth have been in really good form.

They drew 1-1 when they met on the opening day of the season and I can see this game being just as close.

Vaughn's prediction: 1-0

Bournemouth are trying to agree a loan deal for Getafe striker Enes Unal.

The Turkey international has scored 36 goals in 109 appearances for the La Liga outfit.

The Cherries interest in Unal is not being seen as evidence of a willingness to let Dominic Solanke leave the club as the Cherries are adamant he is going nowhere.

However, Kiefer Moore could leave the Vitality Stadium amid a flurry of what is being described as lower-level activity.

On Wednesday, we asked you what Bournemouth's ideal final day of business in the January transfer window would look like.

Here is a selection of your responses:

Chris: I think Kieffer Moore needs to be moved on, not because he's not good at what he does but because what he does isn't what Andoni Iraola needs. The way Iraola sets his teams up to play, Moore doesn't get what he needs to succeed. A back-up for Solanke that fits that mould would also be top of my wishlist, in case Solanke is injured - or worse, sold!

Lewis: We need to sign a right-back on loan as a minimum because we have Adam Smith, Ryan Fredericks, Max Aarons and recently recalled James Hill out through injury. A back-up striker instead of Moore, to compete with Solanke, is what we need. If Solanke gets injured, Moore isn't good enough to be starting for us.

James: Two big signings because I would like to really finish the league in a strong way. My choice would be another winger and potentially a holding midfielder. Antoine Semenyo has been in form and obviously so has Dominic but they need back up, with Luis Sinisterra not being up to their standards. Lewis Cook is also getting old and it’s time to start making the transition into developing a new number six.

Stew: We need to get a good left-back and a proven experienced striker. We may not lose Solanke in this window, but I don't think he will be with us after the summer window. Callum Wilson would do! Not much chance of that, but nothing wrong with dreaming.

The Telegraph's Luke Edwards discusses Dominic Solanke on the Transfer Gossip Daily podcast, following rumours of Tottenham being interested in the 26 year-old:

"I just think we're looking at a player who might soon outgrow Bournemouth now, as we've seen with this window.

"Solanke is having that sort of season where it feels like a breakthrough one for him.

"I think he'll probably leave in the summer.

"The sort of campaign he's had, I think he's an outside bet to get into Gareth Southgate's Euros squad."
