Dean Huijsen dedicated a message to Antoine Semenyo amid growing speculation over both of their futures at Bournemouth.

Bournemouth stars are still revelling in their dramatic comeback win over Arsenal on 3 May, a result that has further fuelled belief in a potential European push.

Semenyo made a key impact off the bench, delivering a long throw-in that set up Huijsen’s towering header for the equaliser, before Evanilson secured all three points with the winner.

The Cherries’ impressive form this season has drawn attention, with several of their standout performers now linked with moves away from the club.

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown recently told Football Insider on 3 May that Man United are preparing a summer move for Semenyo, whose pace and direct style have caught the eye in the Premier League.

Amid the transfer rumours, Huijsen shared a message highlighting the bond within the squad, praising Semenyo and reinforcing the unity that has helped drive theeir success this season.

The Spaniard shared a message of appreciation for Semenyo on Instagram, posting an image of the forward off the pitch alongside the caption: “Good throw in bro thanks.”

Semenyo has flourished under Andoni Iraola this season, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists in all competitions. His explosive pace, pressing work rate, and ability to play across the front line have made him a standout performer in Bournemouth’s surprise push for European football.

That form has attracted interest from several top clubs. In addition to Manchester United, Football Insider revealed that Liverpool are also tracking Semenyo as they look to strengthen their forward options ahead of the new campaign.

The Ghana international has been used on both wings and even centrally at times, offering a versatile and goal-scoring outlet.

Football Insider revealed back in October that Bournemouth are prepared to demand between £40–50 million for Semenyo this summer, though it remains to be seen whether that valuation holds firm as interest grows.

Huijsen, too, has enjoyed a breakout season on the south coast. The Spanish defender has emerged as a composed and powerful presence in the back line, contributing both defensively and in set-piece situations.

However, his future also looks uncertain. Former United chief scout Mick Brown recently told Football Insider that Huijsen is expected to leave Bournemouth, with his £50 million release clause catching the attention of Europe’s elite.

Man United are among the clubs interested, but they’re not alone — Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are all monitoring the 20-year-old’s situation ahead of the transfer window.

Despite the swirling speculation, both Semenyo and Huijsen remain focused on the pitch, playing key roles in Bournemouth’s impressive push for a European spot.
