Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on securing the services of the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo.
The 25-year-old has done quite well in the Premier League this season, and Tottenham are hoping to secure his signature. According to a report from Team Talk, they have made initial enquiries for the African, and they are now preparing an official offer to get the deal done.
Tottenham need Antoine Semenyo
They have not been able to replace club legend Son Heung-min properly, and signing the Bournemouth star could prove to be a wise decision. He has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he has nine goal contributions in 11 league games this season.
The attacker is at the peak of his career, and he could transform Tottenham going forward.
Former Tottenham striker Darren Bent believes that the 25-year-old is similar to Tottenham legend Gareth Bale, and he is unstoppable when he is on song.
Semenyo is highly rated
Bent told talkSPORT: “He [Smeneyo] has exploded out of the traps this season and he just looks really comfortable in himself. Every game you see him do something and you go, ‘Oh my goodness’… he’s one of those rare players, and I call players like this unstoppable. Gareth Bale was like that.
“When I talk about unstoppable, I’m talking about their attributes. When Bale started to move, you just couldn’t stop him, and Semenyo is the same. Once he gets going, he’s going past people, and he’s gliding.
“What’s good about him is that he can go both ways. I think he’s got the full package.”
It would be a masterstroke for Spurs to secure his services in January. He has the quality to take them to a whole new level. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price of £65 million.
