He's got all the attributes to improve even more too; he's great on both feet, strong, quick and can bag you plenty of goals, as we've seen so far this year."Liverpool currently occupy seventh spot in the Premier League standings.
Ince believes whichever club can guarantee the Ghana international Champions League action next term will triumph in the transfer race."In terms of whether he’ll move to Liverpool or Man Utd, it depends on which one will finish in the top four and have Champions League football to look forward to next season," Ince added."If I were in his position, I’d stay put for now at Bournemouth until the end of the season, and see which one of those teams finishes in the top four."Meanwhile, Iraola has provided insight into how Semenyo has handled the transfer talk surrounding his future."Obviously, when you hear your name every day in the news, you have to deal with these situations," Iraola said. "But I think he's committed and I haven't seen a lot of changes in him."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
