Bournemouth and Man City looks close to agree a fee for attacker Antoine Semenyo. This move would give The Cherries a chance to look elsewhere for a replacement.

According to a recent report, Bournemouth are seeing Abdul Fatawu as the ideal replacement. Fatawu (21) has returned from injury this season, after spending much of last season on the sidelines. He is steadily getting back to a form and level we all know can reach interesting heights.

Yesterday he was instrumental in Leicester’s 2-1 home win vs. Derby. According to Mail Online, Leicester could be offered a fee in the region of £30million.

Leicester must consider carefully what they tend to do. This season has not been the best for either the player or the club. Therefore, such a huge fee being offered should trigger a sale.

🚨 Bournemouth are lining up Abdul Fatawu as a potential replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who is expected to join Manchester City in early January.

The Leicester City winger expected to be available for around £30M.

On the other side, no news regarding Michail Antonio, currently on trial at Leicester. Antonio (35) is of course a player to call on if a Abdul Fatawu sale would get the green light. Shortly it could be a win win, but in the long term picture, it looks far from a convincing swop.

Not much to report about on the uncoming side. Most rumours are very soft and Leicester far from the favourite to land players being listed. Look up our hot, cool and cold rumour list update for the recent talk regarding players being mentioned.
