Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham are keen on signing Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo this summer.
According to a report from i News, Antoine Semenyo is valued at £70 million, and that will come as a huge blow for any club hoping to sign him. It seems that Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham have now been priced out of a move for the Bournemouth winger.
The Ghanaian international enjoyed an exceptional season with Bournemouth, and he scored 13 goals in all competitions. He managed to pick up seven assists as well. There is no doubt that the London-born winger is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and he would’ve been an excellent acquisition for all three clubs.
Semenyo will be attracted to the idea of joining a big club as well, and he will want to fight for trophies. However, the £70 million valuation from the Cherries could scupper any potential move this summer. It will be interesting to see if the player decides to force an exit. If he submits a transfer request, Bournemouth will be under pressure to sell him, and they might decide to be more reasonable with their demands.
Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham need an attacker
Manchester United need more attacking depth. The Red devils have already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and they need to bring in another dynamic wide player and a reliable centre-forward. Semenyo will certainly add gold and creativity to the side, and he is capable of operating anywhere across the front three. However, Bryan Mbeumo is closing in on joining Manchester United.
As far as Newcastle United are concerned, someone like Semenyo could complete their attacking unit. They have Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak at their disposal. Another player would be ideal for them. They will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next year, and signing the right players could help them improve immensely.
Finally, Tottenham need to start planning for the future as well. Son Heung-min is in the twilight stages of his career, and they need a replacement for the club icon. Also, Richarlison has been quite underwhelming, and Tottenham should look to cash in on him and replace him. The Ghana international would be ideal for all three clubs, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
