Bournemouth attacker Semenyo accepts wing role

Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo says he'll play where needed by manager Andoni Iraola.

Semenyo has battled for minutes in recent weeks.

But he told the Daily Echo: I see myself as a nine, but I can play in the right (wing) position as well.

So I consider myself versatile in that sense, but I'm happy wherever I'm put to play."

On playing as a winger, Semenyo said: It's really good.

I know that I'm going to be getting on the ball and getting at my full-back, so that's great.

I know that there's the other side with defending, too.

I wouldn't say that's my strongest point, but I know that I want to work hard for my teammate that's behind me and that's beside me.

I'm just making sure that I can do whatever I can, whether I come on for 45 minutes, 60 minutes or 90 minutes.

It's about pushing as hard as I can for the team and I know that everyone else is going to be backing me as well, even when I'm going through a tough time.

It's nice playing wide in this team, it's tough, but it's nice and everyone's thriving."
