LOVE is in the air at Premier League newboys Bournemouth after Kieffer Moore and Chris Mepham both got engaged to their long-term girlfriends in Dubai in the space of 24 hours.

Striker Moore, who scored the winner against Nottingham Forest on May 3 which clinched the Cherries' return to the Prem, got down on one knee and proposed to Charlotte Russell on Sunday.

Then Moore's Bournemouth and Wales team-mate Mepham also announced yesterday that he had popped the question to Jodie Francis.

It caps off a dream season for the pair, who are on holiday in the United Arab Emirates before they link up with the Wales squad next Monday for their World Cup play-off final against Scotland or Ukraine on June 5 in Cardiff as well as four Nations League matches.

Moore revealed on that 'she said yes' accompanied by a wedding ring and love heart emojis.

He added on his post: "The most incredible woman and I can't wait to marry her!"
