Arter wants permanent Cardiff move

According to Sky Sports, Bournemouth’s Harry Arter, currently on loan at Cardiff City, wants to move to the Welsh club permanently.

Having joined them on a season-long deal during the summer transfer window, Arter has become a regular feature and an important player for Cardiff under Neil Warnock. He has so far played 10 games for them, all in the Premier League, but he is yet to register a goal. And he has now apparently expressed his desire to remain in Wales beyond next summer.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was asked about the prospect of losing the midfielder permanently, and he was very reluctant to make any predictions on what is going to happen when the season ends. He said he and the club value Arter greatly, but they also understand that he has settled in at Cardiff well and that he has become an important part of their plans, at least for this season.
