Antoine Semenyo has been mentioned as a possible Liverpool transfer target, but as January nears, two other clubs are shaping up to target the Bournemouth superstarLiverpool-linked Antoine Semenyo is being courted by other transfer suitors(Image: PETER POWELL / AFP via Getty Images)It has been surprising to see Antoine Semenyo linked with a transfer to Liverpool this season.When the Reds parted with more than $300 million on three attackers this summer, none older than 25 at the time, it felt as though the front line might have been reshaped for years to come.However, a closer look at the profiles of those trio goes a long way to explaining why Semenyo might be on the radar. But even the youngster's staunchest supporters would accept that it is a risk to put the entire future of the left flank on his shoulders at the age of just 17.On the other side of the pitch, Slot's refusal to play Federico Chiesa has been even more mystifying.

In Man Utd's case, that conversation would have come hot on the heels of a 4-4 draw in which Semenyo found the net.And while the Manchester duo are the ones said to have made the most recent calls, Romano also claims that Tottenham is "trying to attack the situation." As for Liverpool's interest, the journalist tied it to questions over Salah's future, as well as potential alternative priorities in January.Bournemouth will not be keen to sell to anybody in the winter transfer window.

But that process is typically reserved for the summer, as we saw just a few months ago when Liverpool moved for Milos Kerkez (Ilya Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, and Dango Outtara all left too).Liverpool has already raided Bournemouth once this season, signing Milos Kerkez in the summer(Image: Michael Steele/Getty Images)But this time around, Bournemouth's hands may be tied. With other clubs already making calls, Liverpool must either commit to the Semenyo race or else look elsewhere.
