It appears that Liverpool's rising star, Rio Ngumoha, has caused a shift in the club's transfer strategy. The Daily Mail indicates that Arne Slot's team had contemplated a move for Bournemouth's wide forward Antoine Semenyo during the previous summer transfer window.

Nonetheless, Liverpool has appeared somewhat short on wing options of late, with the Reds reported to be among the Premier League clubs monitoring Semenyo. Liverpool's interest is not yet advanced, but the Reds are one of several clubs keeping tabs on the forward.

Bournemouth has already raked in a fortune from player sales in the recent summer window, including selling Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, Illia Zabarnyi to Paris Saint-Germain, and Milos Kerkez to Liverpool.
