Tottenham are among a host of Premier League clubs keeping close tabs on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, journalist Alex Crook has revealed.

The North London side are reportedly monitoring the Ghanaian winger amid his impressive start to the season, with Semenyo scoring six goals and providing three assists in his first seven league appearances.

Bournemouth are said to be bracing for ‘serious interest’ from England’s top clubs if Semenyo continues his incredible form, with several clubs scouting the 'world-class' 25-year-old.

Tottenham are reported to have held talks with Semenyo before he signed a contract extension with Bournemouth this summer, keeping him at the club until June 2030.

The Lilywhites have recently been boosted by a £100m injection of fresh capital from majority owners ENIC, in an effort to achieve more on-field success.

According to Crook, Bournemouth believe Semenyo has raised his value to over £75m following his impressive start to the season, meaning any potential deal to lure him out of the Vitality Stadium would require a club-record proposal from Tottenham.

The Lilywhites already broke their transfer record on a player from Bournemouth last summer, welcoming England striker Dominic Solanke in a deal worth up to £65m.

Solanke also became Bournemouth’s most expensive departure ever, although the sales of central defenders Ilya Zabarnyi to Paris Saint-Germain and Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid came close this summer, bringing a combined £107m.

Bournemouth also sold left-back Milos Kerkez in a deal worth £40m to Liverpool, as well as forward Dango Ouattara to Brentford for £42.5m.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Semenyo has scored 26 goals and provided 13 assists in 97 appearances for Bournemouth.

Semenyo, who joined Bournemouth in January 2023 from Championship side Bristol City, enjoyed a career-best campaign on the Dorset coast in 2024/25, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists in 37 league appearances.

He has already reached at least half of last season’s goal and assist tallies just seven games into the new campaign and is one of the Premier League’s leading goal creators in 2025/26.

Only Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland has scored more goals (nine) in the first seven appearances this term, while Semenyo also ranks joint third in assists, trailing Tottenham’s Mohammed Kudus and Everton’s Jack Grealish.
