Marco Rose believes Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott should stay at Bournemouth, as it is the right club to help them improve.
Kroupi and Scott, along with Rayan, starred for the Cherries as they finished sixth to secure a Europa League spot; this is the first time they have achieved European football.
Bournemouth rounded out the season with an 18-game unbeaten run (W8 D10). The only non-title-winning teams to have a longer run at the end of a campaign are Chelsea (21 in 2007-08) and Liverpool (19 in 2021-22), both of whom finished second.
Kroupi’s 13 goals in the league last season saw him become the top-scoring teenager in Premier League history in a debut season.
And with goals against Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United, Kroupi became the first teenager to score against each of the teams finishing in the top three in a single Premier League campaign.
Scott, meanwhile, completed the third-most passes of any Bournemouth player in the Premier League last season (1,182), won the third-most duels (185) and created the fourth-most chances (27).
Kroupi has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham this summer, while United are said to be interested in Scott, but new Cherries boss Rose is confident both players will stay.
“Kroupi made great improvement last season, so I think for him there’s no ceiling. Even he knows that he’s in a good place to improve,” said Rose.

“He’s playing in Europe; he’ll have many games, and he’s playing in the most competitive and intensive league in the world.
“So far, I don’t have the feeling that anyone is trying to leave the club.
“I think Alex knows what he has with this club, and it’s always about the right moment to do the next step.
“Because if you are a young player, and you do steps – and nowadays, it happens many times – too fast, too quick, then it’s getting difficult.
“The club is doing a lot of things to show the players that they are in the right place.”
