Bristol City confirm Bournemouth offer

Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has confirmed interest from Bournemouth and Burnley for the services of the Ghanaian striker.

“We’ve received offers of a fashion from Bournemouth and Burnley too. And there is speculation about other clubs. It can be potentially very unsettling for players and that’s why I very much believe in being as frank and open as possible," Pearson said as quoted by GHANASoccernet.

"Antoine is a young man who’s had a pretty good couple of years now, on a personal level in terms of breaking into the side and showing not just potential but his ability to perform at a very good level. The one thing he’s working harder to do now is scoring more goals and, like many forwards, he’ll go through spells of achieving that but even when he’s not doing that he’s still a real handful."
