Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo has a huge part to play in Chelsea’s season just across this week, if he moves to Man City.
Chelsea were keen on signing Semenyo and made an enquiry. However, as soon as the story started it was pretty much all but over, and it now looks like the attacker is heading to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Chelsea have missed out on a chance to sign a top class proven winger who has probably been one of the best and most in form attackers in the Premier League for the last season or two. Sigh.

The script is written, isn’t it? Who would bet against him scoring against Chelsea now tonight? Not me.

Yep, we all know where this is going, right!?
