“He’s very valuable for us – not just the numbers, but a lot of things
“You never know what is going to happen. In the summer there were a lot of movements. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the winter movements.

“I can’t control what’s going to happen,” he added.
Semenyo, who recently signed a new contract keeping him at Bournemouth until 2030, has a £65million release clause that will come into effect in January. The winger has been in outstanding form during the 2025-26 season, registering eight goals and three assists in just 16 Premier League appearances.
Bournemouth will hope Semenyo can continue his impressive goalscoring run when they face Brentford at the Vitality Stadium in their upcoming Premier League fixture on Saturday.
