I want to play as many games as possible and I feel like this is the right place for me to try and do that.”Kelly was attracting interest from a number of top flight clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, with the youngster known to have been scouted by Liverpool.The Reds were reported to have identified Kelly as one of their prime transfer targets, but they’ve been beaten to the punch by Eddie Howe’s side.And the Bournemouth manager feels there is plenty more to come from Bristol-born defender Kelly.“Lloyd is an exciting talent and a player of real potential, while at the same time already possessing good experience for someone so young,” Howe said.
