Experienced midfielder awaits international clearance

Bournemouth have finalised a deal to sign Jo Tessem for the rest of the season. The move is subject to international clearance; however manager Kevin Bond is confident that Tessem will be available for Saturday's trip to Cheltenham Town. The 35-year-old midfielder has been training with the Cherries squad for the past month, and Bond is sure that the former Southampton player will prove to be an excellent acquisition. "His last season [for Norwegian side club Lyn Oslo] didn't end until November so he is in good shape and ready to go," Bond told the club's official website.

Quality

"He has been playing the last two seasons in Norway so he has been getting regular football. "He doesn't miss anything on the ball and he uses it very well. "He has been training with us for the best part of a month and he is a quality player. "Hopefully it will prove an ideal move for us and for him."
