City, State/Country — As dem dey plan January transfer window, Bournemouth don accept say dem fit no fit hold onto dem star player, Antoine Semenyo. Dis 25-year-old Ghana international don dey shine like diamond, scoring six goals and providing three assists dis season, e don help dem climb to ninth place for Premier League table.
Last summer, plenty top clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham come dey eye Semenyo, but he still manage to gree stay for Vitality Stadium on July 1. But now, as dem don bind am with fresh contract wey get £65 million release clause, anybody wey wan carry am go fit do am within the first two weeks of January.
Bournemouth dey hope say dem go fit keep Semenyo till summer, but ah, as the matter be now, dem don dey prepare their mind for any sudden waka wey fit occur. (Nobody wan gree lose dem star man, but you sabi say money dey call, abi?)
Dem also understand say if Semenyo gree waka, e no go be una first time wey dem go feel am for dem heart; dem don already sell other key players like Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid and Dominic Solanke to Spurs. Despite all dis, Bournemouth still dey manage to keep dem level up like dem no get wahala.
Semenyo na winger wey fit use both legs well, and he sabi how to dance through defenders like dem dey follow am for party. E dey shine under head coach Andoni Iraola and e get knack for counter-attack — no boy don score more goals from counter this season. Just picture am, lung-busting run, waka come score for Fulham, wey dey make everybody dey shout.
As e be now, all eyes dey on Semenyo matter; clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City don dey plan how dem go fit drag am enter their squad. (You fit imagine Semenyo and Salah for same wing? Na fire go dey!)
Dis release clause no go last forever; if dem fit hold Semenyo till summer, the price will drop again. So, e go make sense for Bournemouth to find better players to fit replace am if matter no go well for dem.
Anyway, for now, na wah we go dey watch, because if Semenyo enter market, na serious competition go start. The clubs wey wan sign am no go collect am without serious cash. As dem say, make we dey shine our eyes and keep our ear to the ground, because dis matter fit change anytime.
