Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing 25-year-old Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo in the coming months.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to spend over £60 million and “bid big” to sign 25-year-old Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo in the winter transfer window.
The London-born winger has been outstanding this season with six goals in the Premier League already. Manchester City and Liverpool are interested in securing his signature as well. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can win the race for his signature.
Spurs need more quality on the flanks, and the Ghanaian international would be ideal. Semenyo has shown his ability in the Premier League with Bournemouth, and he deserves to compete at a higher level. Joining Tottenham could be attractive for him, as he would get to compete in the UEFA Champions League with them.
The North Londoners have recently won a European trophy, and they will be an attractive destination for the player. It will be interesting to see if the Cherries are willing to accept £60 million for the player. They could look to demand a premium to part ways with him. Given the way the market is inflated for quality players right now, they are unlikely to sanction his departure for that price.
Liverpool and Manchester City keen on Semenyo
Meanwhile, Liverpool and Manchester City are keeping tabs on Antoine Semenyo as well. Both teams need more depth on the flanks. Liverpool have not been able to fill the void left by Luis Díaz, and Manchester City are also struggling in the wide areas. The 25-year-old attacker could improve all three teams, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Liverpool and Manchester City will probably be more attractive destinations for the player, as both clubs consistently fight for major trophies and are better placed to win league titles and the UEFA Champions League compared to Tottenham.
The attacker is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take up a new challenge. The 25-year-old will look to win major trophies, and he should change clubs in the near future. Bournemouth have recently sold multiple key players, and they will not want to lose the African midway through the season. It is fair to assume that any move might have to wait until the summer transfer window.
