Aston Villa, Fulham and Stoke City are reportedly interested in signing Harry Arter from Bournemouth.

According to The Irish Independent, Aston Villa, Fulham and Stoke City are interested in signing Harry Arter from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Arter wants to leave Bournemouth on a permanent basis this summer after spending the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Cardiff City.

The report has also claimed that the Cherries could let go of the Republic of Ireland international for a “relatively modest transfer fee”.

The Irish Independent has claimed of interest in the 29-year-old from Villa, Fulham and Stoke.

“While a move to link-up with his brother-in-law Scott Parker at Championship side Fulham would be attractive for Arter, he is also keen to explore the prospect of remaining in the Premier League by moving to newly promoted Aston Villa,” adds the report in The Irish Independent.

While Fulham and Stoke will play in the Championship next season, Villa will feature in the Premier League during the 2019-20 campaign.

Arter – who earns £40,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is a good midfielder, and his experience in the Premier League will come in handy for the Villans.

According to WhoScored, Arter made 24 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Cardiff this season, providing one assist in the process.
