"It's not a big secret"- Bournemouth manager on Antoine Semenyo's future after Burnley draw

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola looks to be planning for the future without talismanic Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo. 

The Ghana international has been a subject of huge transfer speculation ahead of the winter window following his outstanding form in the ongoing campaign.

The 25-yerar-old netted his eight goal of the season to help the Cherries to a 1-1 draw in their Premier League game against Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

With a few days to open the window, the Bournemouth forward reportedly has a £65m release clause in his contract in January, leaving interested clubs ready to make a move.

Manchester City and Liverpool, who have showed massive interest in the Ghanaian, could break the bank to sign him next month.

Meanwhile, Iraola seems to be giving up on the forward, admitting he has been massive for the club.

“He is a massive player for us,” the Cherries boss told the BBC after the 1-1 draw with Burnley. “It is not a big secret.”

Meanwhile, Iraola expressed disappointment after his side failed to collect all three points against the Premier League strugglers.

“We were feeling like we were having the best chances but we didn’t kill it. We are conceding a lot of set plays and it is a big punishment for us. We deserved to win," he added.
