Bournemouth fail in bid for Swindon Town's Matt Ritchie
Bournemouth have failed in a bid to sign Swindon Town midfielder Matt Ritchie on loan.
The Cherries, who offered 拢400,000 to sign Ritchie permanently in January, have had an initial offer for the 22-year-old turned down by Swindon.
Ritchie began his career at Cherries' South Coast neighbours Portsmouth but made just 10 appearances.
He has had loan spells at Dagenham & Redbridge and Notts County before joining Swindon permanently in 2011.
Ritchie has six goals from 23 appearances for the Robins this season.
