'Bournemouth to reject Milos Kerkez and Antoine Semenyo bids'

, while Chelsea are weighing up a move for Antoine Semenyo in the summer.

Dean Huijsen, Illia Zabarnyi and Justin Kluivert have also impressed for Andoni Iraola’s side.

Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – has had his say on why Bournemouth won’t be tempted to sell again after Dominic Solanke’s huge-money move to Tottenham last year (2024).

Speaking on the new edition of 's Inside Track podcast, Wyness claimed the Cherries have “no pressing need” to sell from a Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) perspective.

He also claimed the club will be in line for a bumper prize money payout from the Premier League as they close in on a club-record-high finish.

Wyness told 's Insider Track podcast: "It will be tempting to hold on to these players.

"They've been playing some great football. The squad is so united and that's what has impressed me – the togetherness and unity, the hard work.

"The Achilles heel for Bournemouth is the stadium, it's about 11,000 in capacity. On European nights, that would be weird.

"It's going to shock the clubs who come over to play them if they do make it.

"The temptation will be to keep this squad together. It doesn't seem like there is a pressing need to sell for them, when you look at the numbers.

"They'll get some good bonus money from the Premier League, so hopefully they can make a push.

"Bournemouth deserve it, they've played some great football.

Wyness has previously told that Bournemouth’s US owners buying Moreirense will open up the Brazil and Portugal markets.

Auckland, Lorient and Hibernian are also owned or part-owned by Bill Foley, who took over the Cherries in 2022.

Bournemouth have recently taken advantage of their Lorient links, signing highly-rated teenager Eli Junior Kroupi ahead of the summer transfer window.
