Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly showing “strong interest” in signing AFC Bournemouth star Antonie Semenyo, according to the Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After joining Cherries from Bristol City early last year, the Ghanaian initially took some time to adapt to his new surroundings. But he showed flashes of his qualities in the first division last season, contributing 10 goals.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed a promising start to this season, scoring three goals and registering just one assist in six league games.
Therefore, it seems that after being impressed by the African's recent eye-catching performances, the north London club have shown interest in signing him.
Transfers He claims that Tottenham plan to strengthen their attack for next season and that they are “very interested” in signing the Bournemouth star. The Lilywhites are even willing to spend £34million to sign him, but the price could rise if he continues to perform at his best.
Semenyo to Tottenham
The striker usually plays in the right winger position, but can also cover the center forward position if necessary. He still has five years left on his current contract with Andoni Iraola's side, so they are in a strong position to demand a huge fee to let their star player go.
Ange Postecoglou currently has Son Heung-Min, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert at his disposal to deploy on the flank. Additionally, Dejan Kulusevski has right-wing traits, but has been a presence in the middle of the park this season.
However, Werner is currently on loan at Tottenham from RB Leipzig and his performances have not been convincing enough for Spurs to sign him permanently. The German is therefore likely to return to Leipzig once this season is over.
Semenyo is strong, fast and can also pressure the opponent high up the pitch. Therefore, he has the necessary attributes to play in Postecoglou's high-pressure system.
However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club ultimately opt to take a concrete approach to securing his signature next year to strengthen the attacking department.
Meanwhile, after a comfortable 3-0 victory over manchester united Last time, Tottenham have won four consecutive games in all competitions.
