Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur all want Antoine Semenyo, so Spurs face a fight to sign the Bournemouth forward during January
Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have £150million to spend during the winter window on multiple transfer targets.
Spurs are said to be desperate for a left winger while also prioritising the signing of another defender in January. The Sun claims Antoine Semenyo tops their wish list, while acknowledging that any move appears unlikely amid interest from Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.
They suggest that City's signing of the Bournemouth forward could aid Tottenham's attempts to sign Savinho after missing out in August. Persistent links to Samu Aghehowa are also mentioned, with the Porto striker reportedly valued at a minimum of £50million.
A left-back is said to be a priority to cover Destiny Udogie 's absence. An addition would also facilitate Djed Spence 's return to right-back.
Failing that, they highlight the possibility of adding a left-sided centre-back. That would then see Micky van der Ven moving to left-back.
Aghehowa could conceivably cost £50million, and the assumption is that any signing of Semenyo would be for his £65million release clause. City also reportedly rejected a £60million offer for Savinho in the summer.
The latter amount presumably would not have increased due to the player's indifferent form so far this season, hence their intention to sign the Ghana international. However, signing Aghehowa and one of Savinho or Semenyo would seemingly leave around £30million to spend on a defender.
Thomas Frank has acknowledged that Spurs will be active during the winter window. Tottenham's coach said earlier this month: "We will definitely be in the market, no doubt about that.
"We want them as early as possible, like every other time, and let's see if we can have them before 31 January." Frank also spoke about the future of Brennan Johnson amid links to Crystal Palace.
He said: "We haven't done too much in terms of [preparation for moving] players out. I think he's a big part of what we have when we're playing a lot of games."
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, understandably, also wants Semenyo to stay. He said: "Antoine Semenyo right now is with us. He has trained today (23 December) with us very well.
"I understand that there is a lot of noise around Antoine. But my concern is that it doesn't affect him, his performances, and we are seeing that it is not affecting his performances.
"He is very committed to the team, and I hope we can keep him there. There are situations that we cannot control, but right now, Antoine is our player, and he's going to continue playing for us."
