Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has admitted that contract talks with Bournemouth were far from straightforward, but says the club's strong show of support ultimately convinced him to stay.

The 25-year-old winger has signed a new deal that will keep him at the Vitality Stadium until the summer of 2030.

He joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in January 2023 and had only signed a long-term contract a year ago, but his rise in form prompted fresh terms.

Speaking exclusively to Ghanasoccernet at the MetLife Stadium, Semenyo revealed the process behind his decision. "It wasn't the smoothest of negotiations, I should say," he said. "I felt like it didn't go the way I wanted it, and it wasn't smooth enough for me.
