Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has opened up on Antoine Semenyo’s transfer speculations, saying the player is in discussion with Premier League side, AFC Bournemouth.
He confirmed the news in his pre-match press conference ahead of their FA Cup 4th round tie against West Brom on Saturday, revealing that the forward has been given permission to speak to Bournemouth, as the two clubs have reached an agreement.
“As we stand at the moment, Antoine is in discussions with Bournemouth, so i can confirm now,” he said.
“The driver of those types of situations are two clubs agreeing a fee and so, that’s happened now and the club will at some point disclose what that is but not today at a press conference.
“He’s been permitted to speak to the club and there will be an opportunity for a medical. That’s where we are with that and no real further comments on that at the moment.
“The most important fact to recognize at the moment is a fee has been agreed between the two clubs so now there are other factors to wait to see; one being a medical and one being agreeing on personal terms,” he stated.
The 23-year-old striker has six goals and six assists to his name for Bristol City in the English Football League – Championship 2022/23 season.
