Julian Araujo arrived at Bournemouth from Barcelona in the summer for a fee of €10m.
The expectation was that he would become a regular squad player in Andoni Iraola’s side, that hasn’t quite been the case.
The 23-year-old did start some games earlier in the season, but in recent games has failed to get minutes, including Bournemouth’s 2-1 win over Manchester City at the weekend.
AS in Mexico have looked at the right-back’s situation, stating that Araujo is ‘relegated’ to being a bit-part player at Bournemouth and he is missing out on key games against the best sides in the English top flight.
The feeling is that ‘Julian Araujo has a problem at Bournemouth’ and so much of it comes down to Adam Smith’s performances at right-back.
It seems the ex-Barcelona man will now have to work even harder to make the cut in the first-team.
