“Antoine Semenyo is with us now. He is playing very well. My worry is that it does not affect him. He has played very well and is committed to the team and I hope we can keep him. Things happen that are out of our control.
“Antoine has performed very well. The level of consistency since the beginning of the season has been very good. He is very valuable to us in many ways, not just numbers.
“You never know what’s going to happen. There was a lot of movement in the summer. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the winter.
“You end up signing a contract and understanding that both parties are happy. I hope I don’t lose him, but I can’t control what happens.”
Semenyo’s Bournemouth team-mate; Justin Kluivert, also said Sky Sports News: “He has shown how good he is. He is the best player. He is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League.
“He doesn’t let it get to his head. That’s a very positive aspect. We talk about everything that comes his way and he stays realistic. He gives 100 per cent for Bournemouth every day and that says a lot about him.”

Paul Merson believes Antoine Semeyo would be a better fit for Spurs than clubs such as Manchester United or Liverpool.
“Give him a win over a few other clubs. He’s going to play every week and he wants to play football. You get the consistency of playing every week.
“But I think he is a good fit for them. Chelsea already have a lot of wingers – (Alejandro) Garnacho, (Pedro) Neto, (Jamie) Gittens, Estevao – and he is 26 years old. There is no selling in sight.”
“At Manchester United he will be playing wing-back. That is not his favorite position. He will not want to play wing-back.”
“Man City, how long will Pep Guardiola be there? He signs a four-year contract and the manager leaves at the end of the season. That means the new manager will want him to play.
“Liverpool might do that, but then you would be taking Mohamed Salah’s place.”
