Andoni Iraola insists Antoine Semenyo has “definitely not” played his last game for Bournemouth after their 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday.

Manchester City are close to agreeing terms with Bournemouth to sign the Ghana international for £65m.

City’s move for the Ghana forward, 25, is at an advanced stage with talks over the past 48 hours aimed at closing the finer details of the deal.

Semenyo, who played the full 90 minutes of the 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday, has been keen for his future to be resolved by 1 January.

“He is a massive player for us and he will still be with us.” It is not the last game he has played for us, definitely not.”
