Tottenham Hotspur earmark Antoine Semenyo to replace Son Heung-min
Tottenham Hotspur are having their worst season in recent years. The Lilywhites sit well outside the top ten in the Premier League and are nowhere near good enough to be contending for the European spots. Ange Postecoglou is also under immense pressure to get positive results quickly, but it looks like an uphill task for the former Celtic boss to turn the fortunes around.
The Spurs fans have grown frustrated with the inconsistent performances put up by the players. Club captain Son Heung-min is one of many Tottenham players that has just not performed consistently this season. The South Korea international has suffered a dip in form and has been in and out of the team.

Son Heung-min has struggled to meet his usual levels of late.
Ange Postecoglou has also been quite hesitant to play the veteran winger in recent weeks. As per Sofascore, Son has scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists in 40 games in all competitions this season. The numbers suggest that it has been a decent campaign for the 32-year-old, but that is far from the truth. The Spurs No.7 has failed to make an instant impact over a stretch of games.

Semenyo will have big boots to fill in the summer.
CaughtOffside recently revealed that there are several clubs that are interested in signing the 25-year-old. Arsenal and Chelsea have been long-time admirers of the versatile forward and Spurs will have to fend off competition if they want to land Semenyo in the summer. The i Paper have also revealed that Bournemouth are asking £70 million to sell the Ghanaian.
Will Semenyo be a good fit at N17?
Semenyo has been one of the standout players for Bournemouth this season. The 25-year-old is guiding the Cherries to a successful campaign and is key to manager Andoni Iraola’s plans. He is also entering the peak stages of his career and will be looking to play for a club that competes for major trophies every season.
Semenyo is a versatile attacker that can play in any of the front three positions, and as an attacking midfielder. The Ghana international loves to dribble, and create chances for his teammates. The forward tends to have great stamina and is a powerhouse off the ball. His counter-pressing skills are second to none.

For now, Tottenham fans can remain hopeful about the possibility of Antoine Semenyo donning the Lilywhite jersey.
