Antoine Semenyo was back in the headlines on Sunday, and Liverpool’s name was linked once more, despite Man City pushing forward with finalising a January transfer. Liverpool’s interest in Semenyo has been well-documented, but the Bournemouth forward is known to have chosen City as his next club, who will take advantage of his January release clause.

Antoine Semenyo transfer links: A quick look • City lead: Man City remain favourites to trigger Semenyo’s £65m clause, with personal terms expected to be finalised on Monday. • Liverpool links: Reports suggest Richard Hughes is contemplating a late move, though reliable sources insist Liverpool have no January plans. • Clause deadline: The release clause is active from January 1 to 10, with Bournemouth hoping to keep him until January 7. Liverpool ‘hijacking’ City’s deal, therefore, is not anticipated ahead of his release clause coming into effect on January 1, which is active until January 10.
