Antoine Semenyo gained plenty of attention on social media as the rumour mill continues to spin about his future at Bournemouth.

The 25-year-old netted his eighth goal of the Premier League season, helping his side to all three points against Fulham on Monday, 14 April, netting the eventual winner inside one minute.

It is simply no surprise to see the amount of interest in the winger ahead of the summer transfer window, with Mick Brown telling Football Insider that Liverpool's scouts have watched Semenyo this season.

With 16 goal contributions across all competitions, that interest is only going to ramp up ahead of the summer, but the Cherries sealing European qualification could help keep the star at the Vitality Stadium.

Taking to Instagram (15 April), Semenyo shared an edited video of his winning goal against Fulham, simply captioned: "53 seconds," with a football emoji.

Teammate Evanilson replied with three fire emojis, while Tottenham's Dominic Solanke and former Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie liked the post.

Football Insider verdict

Andoni Iraola, who is now linked with replacing Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, has done an incredible job with the Cherries this season, currently sitting eighth in the Premier League table.

Bournemouth are just six points behind sixth-place Chelsea, who are now in a Europa League spot thanks to England being awarded an extra Champions League spot, so it is all to play for this season.

Bournemouth are fighting for European qualification.

However, with the amount of ambition shown by the manager, multiple star exits this summer could force Iraola's hand when it comes to finding a new club, sadly.

Bill Foley has expressed his desire to back the manager, but with Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez also being linked with exits ahead of the summer, the squad could all come crumbling down.

Keeping these stars from the "top-six" Premier League clubs would send a huge message ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, but it remains to be seen how they would turn down some of these major price tags.
