Pedro Porro must have his Weetabix this morning after 'scary' AFC Bournemouth revelation - opinion

Spurs face an AFC Bournemouth side who will be hosting somewhat of a farewell party at the Vitality Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank will look to find a dynamism in his squad against AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday night that had been missing in draws against Brentford and Spurs.

The Cherries have been somewhat of an unpredictable package this season, causing problems for top sides but slipping to 15th in the division with no wins in their last 11 outings. However, it’s set to be a big night under the lights on Wednesday.

Whenever AFC Bournemouth are at their best, it’s inspired by the mercurial Antoine Semenyo. The winger has racked up nine goals already this season and has three in his last five.

Andoni Iraola confirms Antoine Semenyo will face Spurs

Semenyo is the man for a big occasion and could play his last match for Andoni Iraola’s side against Spurs. The forward is expected to complete a move to Manchester City this month.

Speaking on Tuesday, Iraola said: "I think it could be the last game. That is my personal opinion, but there is nothing agreed and nothing signed.

"It is my personal opinion as I understand the market and the noise but there is nothing agreed right now. He right now is our player and I hope it continues."

Expected to be deployed at left wing, Spurs right-back Pedro Porro will no doubt have been hoping that Semenyo may have left the Vitality Stadium to save going up against one the league’s most dangerous forwards.

Pedro Porro set for busy Wednesday night

However, not only is Semenyo confirmed to be in the Cherries squad but he will no doubt want to mark his 110th and likely final AFC Bournemouth game by putting on a show. There’s enough praise for the winger this season which should alarm Porro, none more so than from the player’s potential new boss.

Speaking about Semenyo earlier this season, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said: “He’s an extraordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary player. His energy, his confidence, his movement — unbelievable. He doesn’t stop running, he attacks space so well, and when he has the ball, you feel something will happen.

“He’s improving every game. Players like him make this league special — always hungry, always brave.”

Porro was one of the few Spurs players who impressed against Sunderland last time out, but his best involvements came when going forwards. Such involvements will be key again at the Vitality Stadium, but the Spaniard must be wary of a motivated Semenyo ready to break at any moment - Porro best have double his Weetabix this morning.
