Tottenham Hotspur have identified a "fantastic" forward as their top target ahead of the January transfer window, with Thomas Frank personally an admirer.
Spurs keen on strengthening attack in January
Tottenham brought their five-game winless run to an end on Saturday afternoon, with Frank getting one over his former club by securing a 2-0 win against Brentford, and the manager was happy with his side's performance on the front foot.
The Dane said: "I think it was a very good performance overall. A quite complete performance. Offensively we looked a big threat going forward. We were much more dynamic and producing good chances and good moments. I really like that."
That said, it is still too early to suggest Spurs have turned a corner, considering just how poor they have looked going forward at times this season, recording an xG of just 0.1 in the home defeat against Chelsea at the beginning of last month.
Some of Frank's summer additions have also struggled, including Randal Kolo Muani, who received a SofaScore match rating of just 6.1 against Brentford, the lowest of any Tottenham player, and the Frenchman is still searching for his first Premier League goal.
As such, the north Londoners may look to bring in some more attacking firepower in the upcoming transfer window, and a report from TEAMtalk has now revealed that AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo has been identified as their top target.
Semenyo, who has a £65m release clause in his contract, is being targeted by a whole host of Premier League clubs, with Manchester United and Manchester City also keen, so Spurs may have to fend off interest from elsewhere to get a deal over the line.
At this point, it is unclear who the Ghanaian would prefer to sign for, but national team manager Otto Addo has suggested he needs to take the 'next step' in his career soon.
"Fantastic" Semenyo lauded by Frank
The Bournemouth star has been catching the eye in the Premier League for quite some time now, with Frank saying last season: "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."
The 25-year-old then went on to make a flying start to the current campaign, although he hasn't been at his best of late, having failed to register a goal or an assist in his last six outings in the Premier League.
That said, the former Bristol City man is still on course to record a better combined goal and assist tally than last season, having displayed year-on-year improvement since first becoming a key player in the 2023-24 campaign.
Semenyo has proven that he is now ready to make the move to a bigger club, and Tottenham should trigger the £65m release clause when the January transfer window opens, in light of their attacking woes.
