Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a boost ahead of an anticipated pursuit of Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo this summer, as per TBR Football.
Semenyo, 25, has been excellent this season, catching the eye with consistent performances on the wing for the Cherries. His fine form has fuelled talk of a move, and Spurs are one of several clubs keen on the Ghanaian attacker.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are also showing interest ahead of the summer transfer window. He has four years left on his contract, but could be a big-money sale.
Spurs Told To Pay Over £60M To Sign Semenyo
Bournemouth are willing to sell
Semenyo has been with Bournemouth since January 2023, when he arrived from Bristol City for a purported £10 million fee. He's become one of Andoni Iraola's most important players, scoring crucial goals this season, including in wins over Newcastle United (4-1), Manchester United (3-0) and Manchester City (2-1).
The Cherries are "willing to sell" the Ghana international, and Spurs have been put on high alert. They'd be looking at upwards of £60 million to bring the pacey attacker to North London.
There is talk about Semenyo leaving the Premier League and heading to the Saudi Pro League. The report claims the Middle East is the "most likely destination".
Another hurdle Spurs may have to overcome if they make a move is that it would require the London-born winger to put aside his love for Arsenal. In an interview with The Athletic, he suggested that he can separate being a Gunners fan from his job, but the rivalry between the two clubs would surely lead to controversy.
Semenyo's versatility would greatly benefit the Lilywhites as the "deadly" finisher can play across the frontline. He's displayed consistency throughout the season and could take up a talismanic role with the North Londoners.
