The attacker joined Sunderland on loan from the Robins during the Wearsiders’ second season in League One, signing in the January of the 2018-29 campaign under Phil Parkinson.

However, Semenyo failed to make an impact at the Stadium of Light and was limited to just seven league appearances for the Black Cats. Since the loan move, the player has become a regular at Bristol City and has played 116 times in all competitions in the seasons following his stint at Sunderland.

Bristol Live have now claimed that Championship leaders Burnley are showing an interest in the 22-year-old, who’s been linked with a number of clubs over the past year. Premier League outfit AFC Bournemouth are also said to be interested.
