Liverpool are keeping tabs on Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, who the Cherries now value at £75million, with the winger enjoying another stellar season, previously attracting interest from Manchester UnitedLiverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Bournemouth's star player Antoine Semenyo, who is now valued at a whopping £75million after another impressive season that kicked off with a double strike at Anfield.Despite the departure of some of his high-profile team-mates last summer, Semenyo opted to stay put at the Vitality Stadium. Now, Liverpool are considering making a move for him, with sporting director Richard Hughes being a long-time admirer of Semenyo from his time at Bournemouth, where he signed him from Bristol City.Back then, Semenyo was bought for a mere £10.5m, but given his consistent performance at Bournemouth, talkSPORT reports that he could now be sold for over seven times that amount.

His excellent start to the season only strengthens Bournemouth's belief that their hefty price tag is justified.READ MORE: What Florian Wirtz is doing in training speaks volumes amid Liverpool strugglesREAD MORE: Liverpool 11 transfers scrutinised as left-back missing and defender sent backThe Ghanaian forward has already netted six goals this season, with only Erling Haaland outscoring him in the Premier League. However, it's reported that the player himself pledged his future to Bournemouth after discovering that the Manchester club planned to offer him a lower wage than other targets.Liverpool's interest in Semenyo might be seen as unexpected, particularly considering their abundance of attacking players and the ongoing challenge of integrating them into an effective team.

One player who did make the move from Bournemouth to Liverpool recently was Milos Kerkez, but the Hungarian has so far struggled to match his previous performance levels at Anfield, often playing second fiddle to Andy Robertson.For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc.
