Semenyo has a £65m release clause at Bournemouth (Picture: Getty) The Ghana forward has six goals in the league this season (Picture: Getty) ‘He has exploded out of the traps this season and he just looks really comfortable in himself,’ he said on talkSPORT. ‘Every game you see him do something and you go, “Oh my goodness”… he’s one of those rare players and I call players like this unstoppable. Once he gets going, he’s going past people and he’s gliding. ‘What’s good about him is that he can go both ways.

I think he’s got the full package.’ Semenyo’s current contract runs through to 2030 (Picture: Getty) Bent could see Semenyo joining Premier League champions Liverpool down the line, likening Bournemouth man’s game to that of Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku, ‘He’s a little bit like Doku at Manchester City. Right now he’s unstoppable,’ he added. ‘I don’t like talking about who needs him the most as it’s about building a squad.

Huijsen and Kerkez both left Bournemouth for big money in the summer (Picture: Getty) ‘He’s just seen his team-mate [Dean Huijsen] go from Bournemouth to Real Madrid and another [Illia Zabarnyi] go to PSG. ‘I think he [Semenyo] would go to Liverpool. His ambition might be: “Get me to Manchester City, I’m better than Doku,” that might be his mindset.’ Bent believes Semenyo’s ability to play across the frontline would be a big plus for Liverpool, especially with Salah showing signs of ‘slowing down a fraction’ this season. ‘It’s a really good point, the fact that he can play on both sides,’ the ex-Tottenham, Sunderland and Charlton star went on. ‘For so long now, Liverpool have been able to depend on Salah on that right-hand side, season upon season, and don’t get me wrong, he’s been one of the best players we’ve ever seen in this country. ‘But the signs are that he potentially maybe is slowing down a fraction.
