All you need to know about Antoine Semenyo transfer chase
Transfer race: Tottenham are firmly in the race, but Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United are also chasing his signature.
Release clause: Semenyo has a £65million release clause in his new contract, which must be triggered by a set date, making a mid-season move possible.
Arsenal interest: Arsenal are reportedly 'keeping an eye on developments' but are not expected to pursue a deal as they are 'well stocked in wide areas.'
Player's stance: Semenyo has stated he is enjoying his football at Bournemouth and is focusing on the present. He chose to commit his future to the club, believing the manager, Andoni Iraola, had something 'up his sleeve.'
Bournemouth manager's view: Iraola said he is "not worried about the next market" and that Semenyo is their player, suggesting a relaxed approach until January.
Tottenham's need: Spurs view Semenyo as a potential long-term solution for the lack of a natural left-winger in the squad since Son Heung-min's departure.
