Manchester City and Manchester United are currently leading the race to sign 25-year-old Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo.
Antoine Semenyo has done well for Bournemouth, and he has attracted the attention of top teams. According to an update by Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, the two Manchester clubs are now leading the race to sign him.
The London-born winger will cost £65 million next month, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Meanwhile, a report by TEAMtalk has added that Liverpool have abandoned the race to sign Semenyo from Bournemouth in the winter transfer window.
Manchester United did to improve their attacking unit during the summer transfer window, but they need more quality in the final third. Pursuing a versatile attacker like Semenyo could prove to be a wise decision. The 25-year-old has been outstanding in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to play for them will be attractive for the Ghanaian international. It would be the ideal next step in his career. He will look to test himself at the highest level and alongside quality players.
Semenyo could be a game-changer for City
Meanwhile, Manchester City are interested in the player as well. They have needed more quality on the flanks over the last two seasons. The Citizens need someone who can create opportunities with pace and flair. Semenyo would be able to score goals consistently as well. He could be the ideal addition to their attack.
Manchester City have been overly dependent on Haaland. They need more depth in that area of the pitch. Semenyo will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. He could take them to a whole new level. Manchester City are in the title race, and signing a player like him in January could give them a major advantage and help them win the league title.
Meanwhile, he was linked with Liverpool as well, but it seems that the Premier League champions have decided to walk away from the race. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move for other targets. There is no doubt that they need a quality winger, and the Ghanaian international would have been an exceptional addition.
