Watford, Nottingham Forest ‘target’ Semenyo discusses Bristol City future

Celtic keeping tabs on powerhouse £20m-rated attacker who is ‘nightmare to play against'

Bristol City youngster Antoine Semenyo has insisted he is in no rush to leave Ashton Gate, despite numerous rumours linking him with a move away.

The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Watford and Championship rivals Nottingham Forest. Celtic also sent scout Craig Strachan to watch the striker in action this month. However, Semenyo has sent a strong message to Bristol City fans following the reports.

He said:  “It has always been a dream of mine from when I was young.

“But whether it comes now or in a few years, I’m not in any kind of a rush. I just want to keep working on my game so that if I do ever get to the top then hopefully there’ll be no problems.”

Semenyo has been a silver lining for Bristol City in what has been a difficult campaign. He currently has six goals and eight assists inside the Championship this season.

A recent flurry of goals also earned Semenyo the league’s ‘player of the month’ award for January.

And while he may be happy to remain a Bristol City player for now, there will undoubtedly be a number of clubs interested in pursuing the star this summer.

He said: “I much prefer playing in the No 9. If I need to do a job out wide then I’m happy to do that, but my main position is as a striker.

“Playing out wide was tough. It was new to me. I did it out on loan too and it was all off the cuff….
