Jordan Zemura says his focus is on AFC Bournemouth retaining their Premier League status despite sealing a move to Italian topflight club Udinese.
The Zimbabwean international signed with Italian Serie A club Udinese on Wednesday just days after the Cherries banished him from the senior squad.
Zemura (23) was sent to train with the Academy team until his contract expires at the end of the 2022/23 season.
In a statement posted on social media, Zemura said he was confident Bournemouth won’t be relegated. He said:
A lot of news has circled in the last few days about my future.
I would like the focus to remain with the team and for them to stay in the Premier League.
I wish them the best as always and I’m sure they will achieve that.
Zemura joined Bournemouth as an academy player in 2019 and was later promoted to the senior team, and his departure would see the club eligible for a compensation fee.
Bournemouth are currently sitting in 15th position on the log with 30 points from 30 games.
