Chelsea have decided not to move forward with a potential deal for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo after making an enquiry earlier on. The club have now ruled out activating the player's release clause in January, effectively ending their short-lived interest.
The development comes amid growing Premier League attention around the Ghana international, with Manchester City currently seen as frontrunners , as reported by SoftFootball .
The enquiry from Chelsea was understood to be exploratory rather than a firm move, with the club checking the framework of the deal before deciding against progressing further.
