Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo says he is not oblivious to speculation around his future, but is glad he remained with the Cherries in the summer.

The Ghana international was linked with a number of clubs after his former team-mates Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi made big moves in the last transfer window.

But Semenyo, who joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023, — stuck with the south-coast club despite the interest in him and is now reaping the rewards with a brilliant start to the season.

Ahead of the game against Manchester City yesterday, the winger chatted to Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp, and was quizzed about his future.

"I don't think about it too much," Semenyo said. "I try to stay present as much as I can. You see the news all the time, I see it as well, I'm not oblivious, but I try to keep focused.

"I'm enjoying my football here. If I'm not scoring goals, all of that goes away. I try to stay present, do the best I can for the team, score goals and whatever happens in the future happens.

"When they [his former team-mates] all left [in the summer], there was a lot of interest and back and forth with the club.

"But I knew in my head that the manager's got something up his sleeve this year. How we finished off the season last year was so good and we could continue, especially with the players we've bought in as well.

"I wasn't too sure at the start but we've kicked on like a house on fire. I'm glad I committed to staying here because I'm enjoying every moment."

Only Erling Haaland (11) has scored more Premier League goals than Semenyo (6) this season.
