Semenyo wants Champions League football amid transfer interest | OneFootball

Antoine Semenyo has addressed the transfer speculation surrounding his future following a terrific start to the Premier League campaign.

The Bournemouth attacker, who quit football for a year when he was 15, has scored three goals and provided one assist in the opening seven games of the season.

The 24-year-old’s form has attracted interest from several top clubs, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Spurs all linked.

“I do hear it, but I try not to take too much notice,” he told The Athletic about the rumours.

“It is so early in the season and that can all fade away in a split second. It is great to hear they are interested — I don’t know how true that is — but I just want to focus on my game, continue doing what I’m doing, causing problems, scoring goals, getting assists. That’s the main thing.

“If that does come we will deal with that then but at this moment in time it is just about staying focused on what the goal and the plan is this year.”

Semenyo, who says he’s a Gunners fan ahead of facing them on Saturday evening, added: “I want to play for the top clubs as well. In order for that to happen I need to prove it.”

Asked if playing for a club at that level would be a dream come true, he responded: “Yeah, any team that plays Champions League, Europa (League) — that’s the aim.

“I know that’s not going to come with a click of my fingers, it’s going to take some time. It’s going to take goals. It’s going to take a lot of consistent performances. But I’ve worked all my life for that and I’m just going to continue working hard. That’s my mentality.”
