Tottenham are among a host of Premier League clubs monitoring Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window, Sky Sports News has revealed.

The North London side, along with Liverpool and Manchester City, are claimed to be keen on the Ghanaian forward, who only signed a new contract with Bournemouth this summer.

Reports claim bids for Semenyo ‘cannot be ruled out’ when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year, although the 25-year-old has so far shown no signs of wanting to depart the Dorset coast.

Tottenham are reportedly looking to sign another forward in January who can play on the left and complement the current attacking options in Thomas Frank’s injury-hit squad.

Semenyo was linked with a move to North London this summer before committing his future to the Cherries by signing a new long-term deal running until the summer of 2030.

Tottenham Keeping Tabs on Antoine Semenyo

According to Sky Sports News, Semenyo has impressed other teams with his consistent Premier League displays this term, with the 25-year-old forward netting six times in 11 appearances.

Only Manchester City star Erling Haaland (11) and Brentford’s Igor Thiago (8) have scored more this term, while Semenyo also ranks joint-fourth in assists with three.

The 'world-class' Ghanaian forward has carried his impressive form from the 2024/25 campaign, when he scored 11 goals and provided six assists.

Semenyo has remained largely injury-free since his first full season with the Cherries in 2023/24, missing only four Premier League games since then.

Spurs, meanwhile, have struggled to field a full-strength squad this term, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma and Radu Dragusin yet to return from injuries.

Dominic Solanke also remains sidelined after an ankle injury in August, while Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus, Cristian Romero and Randal Kolo Muani have also dealt with recent setbacks.

Tottenham endured a mixed start to the season under Frank, winning just five of their first 11 league games, including only one victory in the last four.

The Lilywhites sit fifth in the table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal, ahead of the North London derby at the Emirates next Saturday.
