Antoine Semenyo signed a new contract with Bournemouth this summer amid transfer links to Liverpool and Manchester United, but the Cherries could be 'powerless' come January with regards to retaining their starmanAntoine Semenyo is said to have a £65million release clause in his Bournemouth contract, which could leave Liverpool and Manchester United licking their lips. When pressed by Jamie Redknapp about his future recently, the Ghana international responded: "I don't think about it too much."I try to stay present as much as I can.

You see the news all the time, I see it as well, I'm not oblivious, but I try to keep focused."I'm enjoying my football here. I try to stay present, do the best I can for the team, score goals and whatever happens in the future happens."When they [his former team-mates] all left [in the summer], there was a lot of interest and back and forth with the club.

I'm glad I committed to staying here because I'm enjoying every moment."After bagging an impressive tally of 13 goals across all competitions last season, Semenyo found himself at the heart of speculation surrounding a transfer to United or Liverpool, while Tottenham also showed an interest. However, with six Premier League goals to his name this term thus far, the clubs could once again register an interest in the 25-year-old when the transfer window re-opens in January.Despite spending big this summer, Arne Slot has failed to inspire performances from Liverpool this season, with the defending Premier League champions languishing at eighth in the table at present with six wins and five losses from their opening 11 outings.And while Manchester United have started to come in good as of recent under the stewardship of Ruben Amorim, questions still remain with regards to the suitability of Sesko as a sole striker given his age and lack of top flight experience.Elsewhere, Spurs may sit fifth in the Premier League standings, but with Semenyo holding a lead of two goals on their top-scorer in Richarlison at present, they may be open to the idea of bringing in the Bournemouth sensation as an upgrade.Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
