Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo before the upcoming transfer deadline, seeking to bolster their attacking options. The Ghanaian international has attracted strong interest from several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool, due to his impressive performances with Bournemouth.
Semenyo, who joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in January 2023 for a reported fee of around €10.25m, recently signed a new five-year contract with the club, extending his stay until 2030. This contract commitment was seen as a significant setback for top clubs eager to acquire him, including Tottenham. The 25-year-old has been integral to Bournemouth’s success, contributing 13 goals and seven assists last season as the club achieved a record points tally in the Premier League and finished ninth—Bournemouth’s joint-highest top-flight finish.
Despite being linked with a move to a Champions League club and being on Liverpool’s shortlist, Semenyo chose to remain at Bournemouth, expressing his happiness with the club’s environment and ambition. Bournemouth's president of football operations, Tiago Pinto, highlighted Semenyo’s importance to the club’s progress and key role in their future plans.
However, with the transfer deadline approaching, Tottenham are believed to be actively discussing a move for Semenyo, aiming to strengthen their squad potentially alongside Ghanaian teammate Mohammed Kudus. This interest reflects Tottenham’s desire to enhance their attacking depth this summer.
In summary, while Semenyo committed his future to Bournemouth by signing a long-term deal, Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on acquiring the Ghanaian forward before the transfer window closes.
