The contract is essentially just a one-year extension to the long-term deal he signed last summer but it should do enough to ward off the circling vultures for the short-term at least.

Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo has signed a new five-year contract, keeping him at the Vitality Stadium until 2030.

The Ghana international has been linked with Liverpool, while Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were both thought to be vying for his signature. Previously considered to be a viable alternative to Bryan Mbeumo by the powers that be at Old Trafford, Spurs appeared to have increased their interest in the 25-year-old.
