Tottenham Hotspur pursued Antoine Semenyo unsuccessfully in the summer and it has now emerged that the Lilywhites are considering another move for the on-fire forward
Thomas Frank has already made his thoughts clear on Antoine Semenyo amid reports of Tottenham’s interest in the Bournemouth sensation.
The forward, 25, is currently one of the most in-demand players in the Premier League and is being monitored by a number of big clubs. Sky Sports report that Tottenham, as well as Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, are among the interested parties
In June, Spurs made an enquiry for Semenyo but the Cherries’ response was firm; they had no intention of selling and it would take an offer in the region of £70million to alter their stance.
The north Londoners ended up spending that money in other areas, but could now reignite their interest in the Ghana international ahead of the January transfer window.
The left-wing position is one which Frank can certainly upgrade in, and the Dane made it clear exactly a year ago that he holds Semenyo in high regard, suggesting he would be open to Spurs now making a move for the forward.
While still in charge of Brentford and speaking ahead of the Bees’ clash with Bournemouth, Frank named Semenyo as the biggest threat that his side needed to keep tabs on.
“Semenyo can play wherever he wants to play. He’s a fantastic player,” said Frank.
“I think he’s been the best individual player for Bournemouth this season. He is definitely a player we need to look out for and do our best to close down.”
He was certainly correct in his assessment as Semenyo went on to record 13 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances last term. That incredible form has continued this season, with the Ghanaian notching six goals and three assists already in 11 league games.
Since being signed from Bristol City in January 2023, he has developed into one of the most dangerous and consistent forwards in the Premier League. As a result, Spurs will have to fork out a hefty sum if they want to sign the player.
It is understood that Semenyo is happy on the south coast and has not asked to leave, contrary to some reports, with the player even being annoyed at such accusations.
The likes of Arsenal and United were also interested in his signature in the summer but secured alternatives in Eberechi Eze and Bryan Mbeumo, respectively.
And, in July, the winger signed a new five-year contract at the Vitality Stadium, meaning Bournemouth are under no pressure to sell their star man any time soon.
