'We know' - Fabian Hurzeler makes Bournemouth and Antoine Semenyo claim ahead of Brighton clash
Brighton vs Bournemouth in the Premier League from the Amex Stadium - Monday 8pm
Fabian Hurzeler sees similarities between Brighton and Bournemouth as they prepare to meet at the Amex Stadium this Monday.
Both clubs have punched above their weight in recent seasons and both have had to devise a shrewd and creative approach to the transfer market.
Brighton and Bournemouth consistently lose their best players to the top teams and replacing those talents has so far been key to competing at the sharp end of the Premier League.
Antoine Semenyo is the latest top talent to leave the Vitality Stadium as the 26-year-old Ghanaian attacker completed his £60m move to Manchester City last week.
Hurzeler: Semenyo has incredible individual quality
Hurzeler said it was a blow to Bournemouth but is confident 'great coach' Andoni Iraola will solve the problem.
"He was an important player for Bournemouth," said Hurzeler ahead the Monday night Premier League clash against the Cherries at the Amex Stadium.
"He scored a lot of goals and he has incredible individual quality. We know they are capable of replacing good players. It is similar to us [Brighton]. You need to find solutions.
"It is the nature that you lose your best players, but during the winter period it is not easy, it’s more difficult but I'm sure they will find solutions.
"Iraola is a great coach. He found solutions last summer when a lot of players left Bournemouth and I'm sure he will do that again.
“They still have great players and they are still a good team that will demand everything from us."
