"No, the more games Antoine can play for us, (the better)," Iraola said/"If he can play years for us, it's much better! If he can only play weeks, it is weeks but the more time he plays with us, the better for us."Antoine's situation is quite clear.

Antoine is a massive player for us and even in games like today where probably he hasn’t played well, he is always a threat to score and assist."Obviously I don't want to lose him. He will be available to play again in three days [versus Chelsea] and then the next one and I hope he plays a lot more with us."In contrast, Semenyo is said to want to complete a deal at the soonest opportunity.
