Nigel Pearson admits he won’t stand in Antoine Semenyo’s way should a Premier League club make an offer for the Bristol City forward this summer but any attempts to prise the 22-year-old away from Ashton Gate will have to be expensive and in the Robins interest.
Semenyo’s fantastic season for the Robins has sufficiently enhanced his reputation throughout the Championship and above with an extensive list of top-flight clubs who have scouted him, leading towards the distinct possibility that approaches will be made.
City turned down a bid from Nottingham Forest in the January window, but that fell well below their value and was ultimately, at least at the time, to a fellow Championship side.
