Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool have been alerted to the situation surrounding Bournemouth's star, Antoine Semenyo. The Cherries managed a significant coup over the summer by securing a new contract for Semenyo, but it has now emerged that this deal includes a release clause.

Semenyo's former teammate Solanke is already at the north London outfit, alongside his international colleague Mohammed Kudus. "I've grown so much at the club, both on and off the pitch, and I'm really happy to have signed ahead of returning for pre-season," Semenyo said when his new Bournemouth deal was announced in July.
