"Andoni Iraola confirmed that Antoine Semenyo will be available for Bournemouth's Premier League clash with Arsenal despite rumours of a January transfer to Manchester City. Ahead of Bournemouth's 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday, reports emerged that Semenyo and City were edging closer to agreeing a £65million deal for the Cherries forward. The 25-year-old has been a standout in the top-flight this season, registering 12 goal contributions (nine goals, three assists), a total only bettered by Erling Haaland (23)."
"Semenyo also played a crucial role in their chaotic stalemate at Stamford Bridge, with his two long throws leading to David Brooks and Justin Kluivert's first-half finishes. Bournemouth are the third team to score two goals from throw-ins in an away Premier League match, along with Sheffield United in October 1993 and Bolton Wanderers in August 2011. But when asked whether that was the last time Semenyo would play in a Bournemouth shirt, Iraola replied: "No, it's not. Yes, he will play this weekend.""
Antoine Semenyo will be available for Bournemouth's next Premier League match despite January transfer links to Manchester City and reports of a possible £65million move. Semenyo has contributed 12 goals and assists this season, a tally only surpassed by Erling Haaland. Semenyo influenced Bournemouth's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge by supplying two long throws that led to first-half goals. Bournemouth became the third away side in Premier League history to score two goals from throw-ins. Bournemouth have endured ten Premier League games without a win this season and showed defensive lapses despite a strong attacking first half against Chelsea.
