AFC Bournemouth
Details of the players released and retained by AFC Bournemouth as of June 30th 2020.
Players leaving the club include Jermain Defoe, who brings to a close a playing association with the club that began almost 20 years ago when he arrived as a teenager on loan from West Ham United in October 2000.
Over his two spells with the Cherries, the striker - who has been on loan with Rangers in Scotland since January 2019 - scored 23 goals, including in ten consecutive matches during the 2000/01 campaign.
Ryan Fraser leaves the club after playing an important role in the Cherries' journey to the Premier League.
After joining the club from Aberdeen in January 2013, the Scotland international went on to make over 200 appearances and last season was second in the Premier League assists chart, behind only Chelsea's Eden Hazard.
Jordon Ibe's four years with the Cherries come to a close following 92 appearances and five goals, including the winner in January 2018 as the side secured their first ever success over Arsenal.
