Antoine Semenyo, the in-demand Bournemouth forward, has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Liverpool reportedly showing interest in the 24-year-old. According to Sky Sports journalist David Ornstein, Liverpool are monitoring Semenyo’s situation closely, but there has been no formal approach or concrete move from the club as of yet. Ornstein emphasized that while Liverpool are aware of Semenyo’s performances and potential, the club is still assessing their options in the attacking department ahead of the January transfer window.



Semenyo has enjoyed a strong start to the season, contributing both goals and assists for Bournemouth, which has further elevated his profile among top Premier League clubs. His pace, directness, and ability to play across the front line have made him an attractive target for several teams, including Manchester United and Newcastle United. However, Liverpool’s interest appears to be more exploratory at this stage, with the Reds prioritizing internal solutions and keeping a close eye on the market.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are keen to retain Semenyo’s services for the remainder of the season, especially as they look to secure their Premier League status. The club has not received any offers for Semenyo and are not actively looking to sell, but they are aware of the growing interest and may be forced to make a decision if a substantial bid arrives in January.

Ornstein also noted that Semenyo himself is focused on his performances for Bournemouth and is not letting the transfer rumors distract him. The player is reportedly open to a move if the right opportunity arises, but there is no indication that he is pushing for a January exit. With the transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on Semenyo’s future, but for now, Liverpool’s interest remains at the monitoring stage rather than active pursuit.
