""It's not easy to do what he has done because a lot of the players would have acted differently," he told a news conference. "He's never found excuses. He was ready to give whatever we needed. "We've pushed a lot to keep him until the last second here and it's fair he leaves with the feeling he has had at the end: with the substitution, with the reception of the supporters. He has earned all this. "I'm very happy for him because he's a top player but especially a top person.""
""I don't know. I don't know what is going to happen in the transfer window," he said."
Antoine Semenyo will undergo a medical with Manchester City after the Premier League club indicated they will trigger his £65 million release clause. The 26-year-old Ghana international scored a fifth-minute stoppage-time winner to seal a 3-2 Bournemouth victory and was given a standing ovation at the Vitality Stadium when substituted. Manager Andoni Iraola praised Semenyo as one of the best players he has coached and commended his professionalism amid transfer talks. Bournemouth pushed to keep him until the end and celebrated his departure. Pep Guardiola declined to confirm transfer plans.
