Iraola Confirms Semenyo to Feature Against Spurs Amid Manchester City Medical
Andoni Iraola has provided a significant update on Antoine Semenyo’s future, confirming the Bournemouth forward will still be involved in Wednesday night’s clash against Tottenham despite growing transfer speculation.

According to reports from Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas, Semenyo is booked to undergo a medical with Manchester City on Thursday, with formal steps in the deal expected to progress shortly after Bournemouth’s midweek fixture. The development has intensified talk of a major move away from the Vitality Stadium.

Speaking this afternoon, Cherries boss Iraola sought to steady the situation, confirming that Semenyo remains fully committed to the squad for now and will play against Spurs on Wednesday night.
The decision underlines Bournemouth’s desire to remain competitive on the pitch while negotiations continue behind the scenes. Semenyo has been a key figure for the Cherries this season, and his inclusion against Tottenham suggests there will be no disruption to matchday plans despite the looming transfer.
With Manchester City circling and a medical already scheduled, attention will quickly turn to what happens after the final whistle on Wednesday. For now, however, Iraola has made it clear: Semenyo’s focus remains on delivering for Bournemouth — at least one more time.
