Tottenham Hotspur continue to chase attacking signings to bolster Thomas Frank’s squad ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline.
Thomas Frank has made a great start to life as Tottenham Hotspur boss, claiming Premier League wins over Burnley and Manchester City.
Tottenham are still chasing further additions, with a clear focus on signings who can make an impact in the final third.
Eberechi Eze was close to joining Tottenham last week, before Arsenal swooped in and hijacked the playmaker’s move.
Spurs remain interested in signing Savinho, even with Manchester City not entirely keen on the idea of selling the Brazilian.
Tottenham have also looked at Nico Paz of Como, but they may look to raid another Premier League rival before Monday’s deadline.
Tottenham Hotspur interested in Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo
Fabrizio Romano now claims that Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo has been discussed inside Tottenham in the last 48 hours.
Speaking on YouTube, Romano stated that Tottenham appreciate Semenyo and he is just one name on the Spurs radar right now.
West Ham United playmaker Lucas Paqueta is another name mentioned alongside Semenyo, with Spurs looking for both number 10s and wingers.
However, Romano claims that a deal for Semenyo is ‘going to be difficult’ this late in the window, with Bournemouth given little time to find a replacement.
“In the last 24, 48 hours, Tottenham also made some calls for other players,” said Romano.
“They wanted to understand the situation of Lucas Paqueta at West Ham, and also, a player they appreciate and they know very well, and was really a target, but now, obviously, it’s late in the market, so it’s going to be difficult, is Semenyo at Bournemouth – another name mentioned internally at Tottenham in the last 24 hours,” he added.
Semenyo has already made a great start to the season, scoring twice for Bournemouth in their 4-2 defeat to Liverpool.
Manchester United continue to track Semenyo and could move for him in the future – if Tottenham don’t get there first, anyway.
Thomas Frank is a big fan of Antoine Semenyo
Semenyo is a different kind of player to Savinho, with the City talent a skilful dribbler in tight areas around the box.
Ghanaian international Semenyo has proven to be a menace on the counter-attack, and his ball-striking ability on either foot is truly brilliant.
Semenyo’s end product is also much more consistent, as he hit 11 goals and six assists in the Premier League last season.
Tottenham will value that record, and new boss Frank has actually admitted his admiration for Semenyo in the past.
Speaking on Brentford’s official website in November 2024, Frank praised Semenyo as a ‘fantastic player’ who could play in any position in the final third.
“Semenyo can play wherever he wants to play – he’s a fantastic player. 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,” said Frank.
