Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has insisted that the team will not abandon their attacking philosophy in the Premier League.

The Cherries all but secured a place in the top flight for the first time in their history on Monday evening by beating Bolton Wanderers 3-0 at Dean Court.

Bournemouth have been hailed as one of the best footballing sides in the Championship this season and Howe says that they will look to maintain their playing style when they go up.

"I don't think we'd forsake our principles. If you could guarantee me success playing a different way, being more direct, crossing the balls earlier, we'd look at it. But it doesn't guarantee you success," he told the Daily Mail.

"In the Premier League, the best way to win is to dominate the ball. It'll be more difficult. But why not? We've proved this season we're a good team and deserve to be here on merit. We'll carry on like that.

"We felt by bringing in a footballing philosophy that was transferable from the Championship to the Premier League, it would give us more chance. If you rip it up and start again in the Premier League, it's too difficult. We believe it can work."

Howe's side face Charlton Athletic in their final match of the season on Saturday.
