Nigel Pearson opens up on Antoine Semenyo's Bristol City future and reveals third bid for star

Antoine Semenyo will be in the Bristol City squad against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday but Nigel Pearson concedes the uncertainty and speculation around his future has had an impact on the forward after the club rejected offers from Bournemouth and Burnley.

Bournemouth failed with two bids on Thursday, with the second worth £10million as City have stuck steadfast to their valuation of the 22-year-old, which is believed to be in the £15m bracket.

Burnley’s interest in Semenyo was first reported by Bristol Live on January 4, and Vincent Kompany’s desire for another striker has seen them make an approach earlier in the window but like the Premier League club, they’ve been knocked back.
