Bournemouth goalkeeper Ryan Allsop joins Wycombe Wanderers on loan

Bournemouth goalkeeper Ryan Allsop has signed for Wycombe Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old, who joined the Cherries from Leyton Orient in 2013, has struggled to regain his position as first-choice keeper in the Premier League this season.

In order to get more minutes on the pitch, Allsop has moved to League Two Wycombe as cover for the injured Alex Lynch, who faces a spell on the treatment table with a hip injury.

Manager Gareth Ainsworth told the club's official website: "Bringing a player of Ryan's ability to the club is a big coup for us. He's a tall, commanding keeper who's an excellent shot stopper and he'll be a great addition to what is already a strong backline.

"I feel desperately sorry for Alex who was just beginning to establish himself as the number one keeper here, and we really hope he makes a speedy recovery.

"I'm looking forward to working with Ryan and would like to say a huge thank you to Bournemouth for allowing us to bring him here. I have a very good relationship with their manager Eddie Howe and it's down to him that we've been able to make this move happen."

Allsop has featured in 77 games during his senior career.
