Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter is set to continue his season-long loan at Cardiff City amid reported interest from Watford.

Bournemouth have reassured Cardiff they have no interest in recalling the Republic of Ireland international.

Premier League Watford and Championship side Aston Villa have been linked external-link with a move for the 29-year-old.

A Cardiff spokesman said: "There is a [recall] clause, which at the moment they are not exercising."

He added: "Bournemouth have informed Cardiff City of that."

Arter missed Cardiff's 3-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle with injury. The transfer window closes at the end of the month.
