Falling’ :Bournemouth suffered disappointment on the final day when the decision to go for an ‘excellent’ international fell through.
Bournemouth hoped to get a move on the last day that would strengthen their attacking options, but the move failed to materialize instead.
That is according to The Athletic, who have announced that the Cherries’ attempt to sign Patson Daka on loan from Leicester City “has failed”.

How Leeds United lost Luis Sinisterra on the last day
Bournemouth have had a disappointing season so far.
Losses to Liverpool and Tottenham and a draw against West Ham left The Cherry with only one point.
This places them at number 16 in the rankings.
Sinisterra will give Bournemouth an extra boost in attack, especially after the failure of the Daka deal, which will be crucial if the club are to claim safety in the Premier League

The Foxes are the only championship team to have won their opening four games.
They have won all of those games by a narrow margin of one goal, and the loss of a player as capable as Daka could affect their chances of promotion.
The 24-year-old Zambia international joins Leicester in 2021 for £23m from RB Salzburg.
Since joining the club, Daka, previously described as “excellent”, has scored nine goals in 53 appearances for the Foxes.

AFC Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola reacts after the draw with Brentford
CHERRIES boss Andoni Iraola said his side were ‘the least happy team to finish’ as Brentford equalized late in a 2-2 draw at Gtech Community Stadium.
The hosts took the lead thanks to a Mathias Jensen free kick, before Dominic Solanke restored the balance after half an hour.
Subs Marcus Tavernier and David Brooks teamed up to put the Cherries ahead at the end of the game, only for the Bees to respond thanks to Bryan Mbuemo’s stoppage-time strike.
Cherry continued to hold out throughout the second half, but Iraola still admitted that conceding late in the game was painful.
He told the Daily Echo:
“I don’t think it was a bad result before the game, but we came very close to taking the three points and we were probably the least happy team at the end of the game
“I think this is a match where anything can happen.
“There are times when they look better than us, there are times when we look better.
We were very close to winning but the truth is they attacked a lot.
“I think we ended the game pretty tired at the end and conceded too many spaces in the last minutes.
When asked if he thought it was a fair result, the Basque player replied:
“I think it could be a fair result because we defended more late in the game because they had to press the pitch.
“But I think they deserve it, especially with the chances they get from set pieces.
“I think we struggled in the last minutes and you can see they will have a chance.
“The worst thing for us is probably the way we concede a goal.
“It came from our goal kick.
“We made two or three mistakes, maybe because we weren’t at our best.
“But you have to know how to end these games because it is very difficult to get this moment
“We ran a lot, we played nice balls throughout the game.
