BRISTOL City boss Nigel Pearson has confirmed forward Antoine Semenyo is “in discussions” with Cherries after the two clubs agreed a fee.

A reported figure of around £9million plus bonuses is said to have been accepted by the Robins today, after Cherries saw two offers knocked back last week.

The 23-year-old is now heading to Cherries to complete a medical, before looking to finalise a switch.

Discussing the Ghana international, Pearson told BBC Radio Bristol: “As we stand at the moment, Antoine is in discussions with Bournemouth.

“I can confirm that. But the driver of those types of situations are two clubs agreeing a fee. That’s happened now.

“The club at some point will disclose what that is, but not today.

“He’s been given permission to speak to the club and obviously there would be an opportunity for a medical etcetera. So that’s where we are with that.

“No real further comments on at the moment.

“The most important factor to recognise at the moment is a fee has been agreed between the two clubs, so now there are other factors to wait to see how they go.

“One being a medical and one being agreeing personal terms.”
