Daniel Jebbison is drawing firm interest from Ipswich Town, Coventry City and Hull City, but Bournemouth do not want to lose the 22-year-old on a permanent deal. Their preference is another Championship loan, which keeps the next move focused on development rather than a sale.
Jebbison's 22-game return
The numbers behind the interest are straightforward. Jebbison scored six goals and added two assists in 22 Championship starts for Preston North End last season, and that return has kept his name in circulation among clubs planning for the new campaign.
He is still Bournemouth's player, and the decision now sits with the club on the south coast. A permanent offer would suit the clubs pushing hardest, but Bournemouth's current stance points in a different direction.
Bournemouth's loan preference
TEAMtalk says Bournemouth remain huge admirers of Jebbison and are reluctant to part company with one of their most highly-rated young attackers on a permanent basis. That leaves Ipswich Town, Coventry City and Hull City chasing a deal that does not match Bournemouth's first choice.
The same report says Ipswich Town, Coventry City and Hull City would all be interested in discussing a permanent deal if circumstances changed. That makes the shape of the move the real issue, not the appetite around the player.
Championship clubs stay involved
The interest is not limited to the three clubs pushing most strongly. Burnley, Middlesbrough, Birmingham City, Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers have also indicated interest in securing his services, which gives Bournemouth leverage while the market works through different options.
For Jebbison, the immediate decision is simple: a permanent exit if Bournemouth shift, or another loan spell if they hold their line. At 22, his next step will be decided by whether a club meets Bournemouth's terms or settles for another season-long route.
