Joe Cole: If Semenho is willing to join Chelsea, this is definitely a signing without hesitation

November 22 News The 25-year-old Semenho has performed extremely well for Bournemouth this season, contributing 6 goals and 3 assists in 11 Premier League games. Recently, in an exclusive interview with PaddyPower, Chelsea star Joe Cole called on his old club to sign the Bournemouth winger before Manchester United and Liverpool.

Joe Cole said: "Knowing Chelsea, he may be a bit old! I have to check his age. But from a football point of view, if he is willing to come and there is an opportunity to sign him, then this is definitely a signing without hesitation. According to Chelsea's current operating model, there will be financial evaluation factors, so it will ultimately depend on These."

"Semenho will definitely be a useful addition to Chelsea's lineup, and he is likely to directly become the main player because he has performed so well at Bournemouth this season."

At the same time, Bournemouth coach Iraola said that he is not worried that the club will be forced to sell Semenho in the next transfer window.

Iraola said at a press conference on Friday: "It is November, Semenho is our player, he will continue to be our player. Wait until January and you will ask me about the winter window. But now I will not worry about the future transfer market. You know what I hate most is to discuss these issues in August and January (when the transfer window is open), and now is not that time. Now is November."

" I am more worried about the players who can play tomorrow, the things that need to be resolved in the short term, the really important things. In January, we will discuss what will happen and what players we need. But today, that is not what I am worried about."

In the summer window of this year, both Manchester United and Tottenham made offers of 50 million pounds for Semenho but were rejected. Then he signed a five-year contract with Bournemouth, and Liverpool also had transfer rumors with him.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Semenho's contract contains a release clause of 65 million pounds, which means that Bournemouth may lose the winger in the transfer window in January next year.
