Bournemouth might concede defeat in their efforts to keep star man Antoine Semenyo in the wake of big interest from rivals.
According to Football Insider, Bournemouth may not have the capacity to hold on to Antoine Semenyo for longer. The Ghana international is the subject of big interest from Premier League heavyweights Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle United, as the Cherries could concede defeat in their efforts to keep him,
Antoine Semenyo signed a new deal back in July that ensured he is tied down at least until 2029, which does give Bournemouth some room with the future of the attacker. However, in the wake of a solid start to the season with the Cherries, the Ghana international has attracted sufficient interest.
Bournemouth will demand significantly to sell the 24-year-old attacker. However, they will hope to hold on to him at least until next summer. That might prove challenging given their stature in the English football pyramid, as the idea of keeping him could be out of their hands.
Tottenham are one of the clubs keen, with Spurs eying a player of Semenyo’s quality to add to their attacking setup. The North Londoners are willing to pay significantly for the Ghanaian international, although the competition for the winger might offer Semenyo plenty of choices.
Arsenal, for instance, are an attractive option, who are eyeing Semenyo as well as Milos Kerkez. The Gunners are in the market for attacking reinforcements. However, the player may not have a guaranteed starting spot at Arsenal, something he might find on other sides like Tottenham or even Newcastle United.
Bournemouth could sell Semenyo
Newcastle United could push for a January move, which could give them the pole position in the chase for Semenyo. The Magpies are prioritising a right winger in the winter window, and in the current market, they could see the value in bringing the 24-year-old attacker.
Bournemouth, for their part, are eager to hold on to the player, although they might be powerless in doing so. The interest from big Premier league clubs might not come again, and that might play on Semenyo’s mind, who could demand a move away from the Cherries. Hence, the South Coast club could be powerless in their efforts to keep hold of the 24-year-old even in January.
