JORDAN Zemura is currently focusing on his football with speculation surrounding his future rife.

After a breakthrough campaign last season, the left-back has entered the final year of his contract at Cherries.

Alongside fellow starlet Jaidon Anthony, Zemura signed his latest deal in December 2020, tying him down until June 2022.

The contracts for both Zemura and Anthony allowed the club to exercise an one-year extension clause, keeping the pair on the south coast to at least the end of the current campaign.

Currently, the Zimbabwean international is enjoying his first taste of Premier League football, making five starts in Cherries’ first six league games so far this campaign.

Despite not currently having a permanent head coach, Cherries have continued to tie down talents to new deals, with Chris Mepham the latest to sign a new deal at the Vitality Stadium.

Heading into this season, Zemura was one of eight senior players with a year remaining on his deal, with Mepham, Jack Stacey, Jefferson Lerma, Will Dennis, Adam Smith, Jaidon Anthony, and Junior Stanislas all on deals expiring in the summer of 2023, according to Transfermarkt.

With Mepham and Smith sorted, the club have also tied down stars such as Lewis Cook, David Brooks, Mark Travers, and Dominic Solanke to longer deals.

Although the Daily Echo understands that Cherries are working on further contracts, Zemura revealed that he felt he did not need to focus on off the field matters, instead paying full attention to his performances on the pitch.

He told the Daily Echo: “I'm just focusing on my football, just doing what I need to do on the pitch.

“And then, I let everyone else take care of that - I'm not needing to focus on that.

“But I'm here now and I'm enjoying my football.”
