Tottenham Hotspur have ended their interest in Ghana and AFC Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo ahead of the winter transfer window.

The Black Stars forward will become available in the January market, with a release clause of £65 million for any club interested in his services.

Spurs earlier showed interest in Semenyo during the summer window, and were one of the clubs in the race for his signature ahead of next month's transfer business period.

However, according to reports in England, the Europa League winners have ended their pursuit of the striker and have instead moved on to other targets.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are all preparing to make a bid for the forward in January.

Although Semenyo is yet to make a decision over his future, the 25-year-old is believed to be favouring a move to Liverpool.

The Reds lost striker Alexander Isak to injury during the 2-0 victory over Spurs on Saturday while talismanic forward Mohamed Salah is in Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.

Semenyo has been in blistering form for the Cherries in the Premier League this season, netting 8 goals and delivering 3 assists in 16 matches.

Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo was instrumental in Bournemouth's 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on August 30, 2025.

Despite the game being played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Black Stars forward delivered an impressive performance that earned him praise from both fans and pundits.

Semenyo consistently troubled the Spurs defense, taking on his markers and winning crucial set pieces for his side.

He played a key role in the build-up to Evanilson's decisive goal, which proved to be the difference between the two sides.

In addition to his attacking contributions, Semenyo’s work rate in tracking back to support the defense under pressure was vital to Bournemouth’s victory.

Although several of his shots were either blocked or went wide, denying him a goal, his overall influence on the game was undeniable.

The striker has now scored two goals in three games in the 2025/2026 season.

In a conversation with Joel Beya, as covered by TBR Football, Rio Ferdinand was asked to compare Kudus and Madueke, and he retorted, "I see Madueke's level as equal to that of Kudus Mohammed, but Kudus has a bigger media aura around him."

Kudus has had a brilliant start to his career at Spurs, assisting Richarlison twice in Tottenham's 3-0 emphatic win over Burnley in their opening game of the Premier League season on August 16, 2025.

Madueke, on the other hand, did not play a major role in Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Manchester United.

‘I feel he’s Brazilian’ – Richarlison hails Kudus’ samba style after Spurs win - GhanaWeb

Richarlison has lavished praise on new teammate, Mohammed Kudus, after the Ghanaian lit up Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 win over Burnley with a dazzling debut performance on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

Kudus, who assisted both of Richarlison’s goals, was at the heart of Spurs’ attack, combining flair, precision, and timing to devastating effect.

His second assist set up a breathtaking acrobatic volley from the Brazilian, a strike already being touted as one of the goals of the season.

Speaking after the match, Richarlison compared Kudus’ flair and confidence on the ball to the artistry of Brazilian football.

“I feel this guy is Brazilian. I love dribbles, I love skills, and I’m so happy with the game. The gaffer said it was crucial before the game, I’m so happy,” he said.

The comments reflect the instant chemistry building between Spurs’ new attacking duo.

Kudus’ ability to glide past defenders and create openings resonated with Richarlison, whose own career has been shaped by Brazil’s culture of expressive, skillful football often described as “samba style.”

Kudus himself emphasised that his approach is about more than tricks and flicks; it’s about timing, execution, and entertaining supporters in the right moments.

“Part of the main reason I came here is playing in the position I want to play and being in the position where I can entertain the fans, because I believe that’s what the game is about.

“But most importantly, it’s doing it at the right time. Good timing, higher positions in the game, so it’s good we got the win and enjoyed part of the game as well,” he said.
