“I would say definitely Liverpool and Semenyo’s camp would have held talks at some point over the summer because it was talked about, it was one of those that went round and round in the industry,” he said on his YouTube channel.READ MORE: The real reason Rio Ngumoha hasn’t been playing for Liverpool’s U21s has been revealed“‘Oh, Liverpool and Semenyo maybe’ but then it just faded away.”This would be a good sign, though, as continued interest would suggest that those talks were positive, with it being far from off the table in the winter.Liverpool need to sign a winger anyway, so why not sign Antoine Semenyo in January?It seems a bit of a no-brainer to snap Semenyo up in the new year if he is keen on a move, with Liverpool needing a winger in the summer regardless.For £65m as well, it is less risky than blowing the budget on an unproven star later down the line, with the Ghanaian very much a ‘safe bet’. If Liverpool have been looking at him for a while too, it would suggest they have all the evidence they need to know that he would be a good fit, with this something they rarely get wrong.Either way, Semenyo is certainly a player for Reds fans to keep an eye on with all the talk around him right now suggesting he could become a Liverpool player very soon.
