Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is a wanted man after an impressive 2024-25 season and opening half of the current campaign. The Ghanaian has 7 goals and 3 assists so far this season, which has led
to a bevy of clubs expressing their interest in signing him, especially when he reportedly has a £65m release clause that kicks in this January.
According to the Guardian, the 28-year-old Semenyo is open to leaving Bournemouth, and there are three big clubs linked with him — Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United. The report states that Semenyo would prefer a move to Liverpool, given a choice, with City as his second choice. And the bad (but predictable) news — Tottenham is also mentioned, but has a “slim chance” of landing him.
Now — this is very likely Semenyo’s agent doing agenty things and linking him to large clubs that include a big payday. But also, he’s pretty good and has a release clause active in January and those things usually don’t come together in quite this way very often. What does seem clear is that, although Spurs are interested, they have a pretty slim chance of getting him, considering they’re now up against three of the richest and/or best clubs in English football. There goes that dream.
So here’s an idea then — Antoine Semenyo goes to City, further marginalizing Tottenham’s major summer target Savinho, who despite signing a contract extension this past summer is then made available to Spurs. I could get behind that. If we’re going to start dreaming, that’s maybe the dream to have, rather than hanging your hat on Antoine Semenyo in lilywhite this spring.
