Tottenham have been linked with a move for Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo as the Cherries continue to be raided.
It has been an eventful summer at the Vitality Stadium, but perhaps one that Tottenham will not envy.
Andoni Iraola has already lost Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid just one year after signing the centre-back from Juventus, while Milos Kerkez has made the move to Liverpool.
Meanwhile, star forward Semenyo has also been linked with a transfer away from the South Coast.
Bournemouth want £70million for Semenyo
As reported by David Ornstein via The Athletic (20 June), Bournemouth want £70million for Semenyo.

The price could prove too steep for Tottenham, especially as they step up their interest in signing Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.
After several key departures, it is no wonder that the Cherries are demanding such a high price to part ways with Semenyo.
However, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes Bournemouth might already be in trouble, even if they keep hold of the 25-year-old.
“We don’t know what will happen with Semenyo,” Wenham said.
“However, Bournemouth have already sold several players, including Huijsen and Kerkez. Therefore, they don’t need to sell Semenyo.
“I also found it strange that they let Max Aarons leave on loan as well. Kepa has gone too. I really do worry about Bournemouth. Unless the recruitment is fantastic this summer, they’re going to be in a relegation fight.
“I don’t see how you lose your main defenders and then start losing their replacements too. They definitely have issues to address this summer.”
Tottenham could have a choice to make
It is highly unlikely that Tottenham will pay big money to sign Kudus and Semeyno.
As a result, Tottenham may need to choose to sign one of them this summer. It will be a tough choice to make as both can play in several positions.
But it is a choice that needs to be made to best prepare for the upcoming season.
