Newly-promoted English Premier League side Bournemouth have revealed that they investigated the background of Christian Atsu including a search on his Twitter handle to ensure that he is not a troublemaker before signing the Ghana star on loan this month.
Chairman Jeff Mostyn says the club's coach Eddie Howe conducts similar searches on all players they sign to ensure that new arrivals don't disturb the united dressing room of the Cherries.
The search includes the behaviour of the player on and off the field as well as how they interact with fans on social media websites like Twitter and Facebook.
The Cherries have bought sensibly and - despite being linked with free agent Dimitar Berbatov - they have made some shrewd investments ahead of their foray into the English top-flight.
Chelsea winger Christian Atsu is the highest profile arrival, with Blackburn striker Josh King and two keepers, Artur Boruc and Adam Federici, arriving from Southampton and Reading.
"But I think Eddie, his assistant Jason Tindall and our chief executive Neil Blake will continue to look for players that fit the profile of this football club," Mostyn added.
"Our success has come from the fact that we have always looked for players of a certain character and players who reflect what we as a club are all about.
"So, we will look at Âeverything, not just what they can provide on the pitch. We will look at their character off it, their conduct on Twitter, everything.
"Largely because we have been helped by the fact that we have had a very settled dressing room and the management do not want to do anything that might upset or destabilise it."
They host Aston Villa in their first-ever Premier League game next season.
It will be the opening contest of a campaign in which they aim to continue living the dream.
It is 52 days since that magical night on the south coast. A night that saw Bournemouth beat Bolton to reach the top flight for the first time in their 116-year history.
A night that saw Eddie Howe 's men win the hearts of the nation after their well-documented fightback from the brink of financial ruin.
The good wishes have been flooding in from that day to this. Bournemouth's entry into the big time has ensured they never worry about money again.
