Chelsea Close to Completing Move for Bristol City Wonderkid Antoine Semenyo After FA Cup Heroics

Chelsea look to be winning the race for Bristol City teenager Antoine Semenyo, and could be close to completing a deal after the forward was recalled from an impressive loan spell with League Two side Newport County.

The Exiles are enjoying an FA Cup fairytale at present, famously knocking out Premier League side Leicester in the fourth round before earning themselves a replay with a stoppage time equaliser against Middlesbrough at the weekend.

19-year-old Semenyo scored six goals in 32 appearances for Newport, including both famous FA Cup results, before Bristol City announced his return to Ashton Gate on Sunday evening.
