Bristol City keen on keeping in-demand Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo

Published on: 18 May 2022

English championship side Bristol City will only allow English-born Ghanaian attacker to leave at the right value. 

Manager Nigel Pearson disclosed that the lanky forward remains a key part of the team and will not stand in his way if the right offer comes.

In January The Robins rejected a deal from Nottingham Forest for the striker.

“I don’t spend too much time worrying about that. I think we will, in time, have decisions to make on him but hopefully he’ll be here this year,” said Pearson, via Bristol Live.

“Would I stand in his way of going to top a Premier League side? Absolutely not. But it would have to be the right deal for us, as a team. As a football club, the financial offset for losing someone like Antoine is going to be considerable and people need to be aware of that.

“We don’t want to be a selling club, we want to keep our best player, of course we do, but the reality of where we are is there are times when that stance will be stretched and it will be questioned, and what we have to do is make the right decision for us as a football club.

“We’ll have a better chance of succeeding next year if Antoine is here. But if he goes somewhere he’s going to be expensive for somebody.”

Antoine Semenyo scored eight goals and provided 12 assist in a fine campaign with Bristol City in the English championship.
