BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) – Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is set to play against Arsenal on Saturday despite reports he is close to a move to Manchester City.<\/p>\n

“Antoine will play, yes,” Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said at a press conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian is third in the Premier League’s scoring list this season, with his nine goals behind Erling Haaland (19) and Brentford’s Igor Thiago (11).<\/p>\n

The Cherries host Arsenal and then Tottenham in midweek.<\/p>\n

“The least possibility is that he will be available for these two home games,” Iraola said. “I hope he’ll be here more, but you never know what will happen.”<\/p>\n

Iraola did not dispute reports that a transfer was imminent.<\/p>\n

“Nothing is signed,” he said. “There’s definitely some conversation, you can hear the background noise, but there’s no sign. Antoine is our player.”<\/p>\n
