In the 2023-24 season, Bournemouth finished the Premier League with 13 wins, 9 draws, and 16 losses, accumulating 48 points and ranking 12th in the league, placing them among the lower mid-table teams in the Premier League. During the current offseason, Bournemouth have made significant moves, including the €2.27 million acquisition of goalkeeper Alex Poulson, the €23.4 million buyout of Sisto, and the €16.5 million buyout of Unal. Jebbison joined on a free transfer, while H-Traoré returned to the team after his loan spell ended.
