Tottenham Hotspur have made an enquiry to Bournemouth about forward Antoine Semenyo but are not proceeding with a move for the Ghanaian forward at present.

Semenyo is thought to be attracted by the prospect of a move to north London but Bournemouth’s steep asking price has deterred further interest from Spurs in the short term, as well as his other suitors, including Manchester United.

Bournemouth are thought to value the 25-year-old winger at £70million.

Semenyo has become an integral part of Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth side, scoring 21 goals across the last two seasons including 13 in 42 appearances in all competitions in 2024-25.

New Spurs head coach Thomas Frank wants to add to his attacking options this summer, despite the club completing the signing of forward Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on a permanent basis, following a five-month loan spell. Tel joined the north London club in a deal worth €35m (£29.9m), plus €10m (£8.5m) in potential bonuses.

As reported by The Athletic on June 17, Spurs hope to persuade Bryan Mbeumo to follow Frank from Brentford but his preference is to join Manchester United, who submitted an opening offer of £45million plus a further £10m for the 25-year-old in add-ons earlier this month.

Semenyo joined Bournemouth from Championship side Bristol City in January 2023 and agreed a new five-year deal at the south coast club in July 2024.

He made 125 first-team appearances prior to joining Bournemouth, and also had spells out on loan at Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland earlier in his career.
