Bournemouth shock Premier League with news.

Antoine Semenyo was supposedly going to be following Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Ilia Zabarnyi out of the Dean Court revolving door this summer.

But whilst Huijsen has secured his move to Real Madrid and has already made an impact for his new club at the FIFA Club World Cup and Kerkez has enjoyed a pool party celebrating his move to Liverpool. Both Semenyo and Zabarnyi remain on the south coast.

Zabarnyi has been heavily linked with a move to UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, whilst Semenyo has been linked with Premier League champions Liverpool, UEFA Europa League winners Tottenham and Manchester United in recent months.

Semenyo enjoyed a sensational 2024/25 Premier League campaign, scoring 11 goals and claiming 5 assists from 37 appearances.

AFC Bournemouth had placed a reported £70 million price tag on the 25-year-old’s head, but seemingly in the background had been working away to convince the Ghana international to stay with the Cherries.

That move has proved successful with Semenyo signing a brand new five-year contract, until the end of the 2029/30 campaign.

Speaking to afcb.co.uk, Semenyo said…

“I’ve grown so much at the club, both on and off the pitch, and I’m really happy to have signed ahead of returning for pre-season.

“From the fans to the staff and my teammates, I can’t speak highly enough of the people around the club. It’s a great place to be and I’m excited to get back to Bournemouth and continue the hard work with the new season just around the corner.”

Your say…

Excellent! Signed a new deal last summer and another new one this year. It’s almost like when we gave out 12 month contracts every year. Only… not the same at all.

Core to AI’s approach so fantastic to have him secured. If Spurs et al want him now they’re going to have to seriously pony up. – To join the conversation, please click here.
