Overview

• Managing director Tiago Pinto has reiterated that both head coach Andoni Iraola and Antoine Semenyo are staying, reinforcing Bournemouth’s refusal to sell midseason.
• Semenyo signed a new five-year deal in the summer, keeping him under contract until 2030 and strengthening the club’s negotiating position.
• Top Premier League sides have been linked, with reports naming Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal, and Semenyo has publicly said he is an Arsenal fan.
• Reported valuations vary widely, from an earlier £75m figure to claims Bournemouth could seek over £100m, with multiple outlets indicating January is unlikely and interest expected to build for the summer window.
• Semenyo has started the season with six goals and three assists, drawing praise from Chris Waddle as the league’s best winger, while former executive Keith Wyness suggests staying at Bournemouth could be his best option.
