Howe said, "What an incredible professional. A great guy and I can't speak highly enough of him and his contribution. Unfortunately for us he picked up a couple of injuries so we didn't see a lot of him on the pitch but behind the scenes he was incredible."

Howe also commented on goalkeeper Martin Dubravka's move to Manchester United.

He added: "Martin is obviously still our player, he's on loan. We didn't want to lose him but you have to understand and respect the player's wishes. Hopefully we've come to a situation that suits him."
