Earlier, Sports Brief reported that English Premier League strugglers AFC Bournemouth are interested in signing Ghana international, Antoine Semenyo in the winter transfer window.

Semenyo, who scored in Bristol's 1-1 draw at Coventry on New Year's Day, has six months left on his current deal and the Robbins are likely to cash in on the Ghanaian.
