Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has confirmed Bournemouth’s latest offer for Antoine Semenyo has been accepted and the Robins are in negotiations with a permanent replacement for the striker.
Bournemouth made their third offer of the window on Thursday morning which is believed to be a fee of £9 million up front and further incentivised add-ons taking it past their previous offer of £10m.
With Semenyo’s contract expiring in 18 months and City conscious of their own needs to improve their squad before Tuesday’s transfer deadline, the Cherries’ persistence and the sense of timing has ensured this proposal has been successful.
