Bournemouth's Jebbison Seizes Chance Amid Unal's Departure
Bournemouth's Daniel Jebbison may get his chance to shine after Enes Unal's departure, with former midfielder Mark Molesley praising his 'mobile target' skills. Jebbison, who joined Bournemouth on a free transfer in 2024, has been on loan at Championship sides Watford and Preston North End in recent seasons.
What Happened?
Former Bournemouth midfielder Mark Molesley believes Jebbison is 'a great profile' for the Cherries. Molesley told BBC Radio Solent that Jebbison is 'a mobile target, a running number nine which everyone seems to want in their squad at the moment.'
Why It Matters for Bournemouth
With Unal's departure, Bournemouth may have an opportunity to give Jebbison more playing time. Molesley said, 'He's gone out and got some much-needed first team experience. The Championship is a tough league. The Premier League is obviously a step up but he's gone and got regular minutes and got a lot more experience.'
What Comes Next?
Bournemouth's recruitment team is known for acting quickly, so it will be interesting to see how they respond to Unal's departure. Molesley said, 'The recruitment team at Bournemouth don't usually hang around. They have got the next one lined up and ready to go.'
Bournemouth currently sits 6th in the Premier League, with 57 points from 38 games, and a recent form of 1W-4D-0L. They have scored 58 goals and conceded 54 this season, with a +4 goal difference. They are 28 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on 2026-05-24. They have been unbeaten in their last 5 games, with a recent form of DDDDW.
