What do you mean the Cherries are now less keen on him? He was likely never near their first team squad considerations. Prior the Olympics the other real tangible news we got on their plans for him, was AP himself saying he was likely to go out on loan. Turns out that loan destination surprised us all.

I doubt the coaches at Bournemouth watched the Olympics much at all. You can't really take too much from a tourney where players come together for a few weeks, as opposed to a full club season like he had at the Nix. In a club setup the playing system becomes deeply ingrained, and you have a better chance of perfecting playing out from the back, a strength obviously of Paulsen. He won all the GK awards in the ALM last season. That's the CV you go off, not 3 games for an almost a scratch, under powered team, who were well outclassed in their last 2 matches.  

Now the Foley Group can closely monitor how he goes at a new club, dealing with new team mates, playing style etc. They will be looking around Europe seeing what maybe the next best club fit for his development. Whether that's amongst their feeder clubs Hibs & Lorient, or elsewhere. Likely a few lower tier UK clubs that would be keen to take a punt on him, but for now Foley's new born child gets a great publicity stunt.

He's only 22, with just the 1 full pro season. Time definitely on his side as a very talented young GK.
