AFC Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has opened up about the swirling transfer speculation linking him to Premier League powerhouses Liverpool and Manchester United — but the Ghanaian star insists he’s staying grounded and focused on the job at hand.

After a breakout season that saw him become one of Bournemouth’s most influential players, Semenyo caught the eye of several top European clubs. However, instead of seeking a move, the 25-year-old extended his stay at the Vitality Stadium, penning a long-term contract until 2030 — reportedly featuring a £75 million release clause.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Semenyo admitted he’s aware of the rumours but remains fully committed to Bournemouth’s project under manager Andoni Iraola.

> “I don’t think about it too much. I try to stay present as much as I can,” he said. “You see the news all the time — I see it too — but I just stay focused. I’m enjoying my football here. If I’m not scoring goals, all of that goes away. So I just focus on helping the team, scoring goals, and whatever happens in the future happens.”

The Ghana international also reflected on his decision to sign a new deal despite heavy interest during the summer.

> “There was a lot of back and forth when the transfer window opened, but I believed in the manager’s vision. The way we ended last season gave me hope, and the new players we’ve brought in have made us even stronger. I’m glad I stayed — I’m enjoying every moment.”

Semenyo’s faith appears to be paying off. He’s been in red-hot form this season, notching six goals and three assists in ten Premier League games, establishing himself as one of the league’s most exciting forwards.
