Tottenham’s Interest in Antoine Semenyo
In a recent development, Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in winger Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, although they are not moving forward with a transfer at this time. The Ghanaian forward, who is said to be keen on a potential switch to Spurs, faces a barrier due to Bournemouth’s hefty price tag of £65 million, which has put off not only Tottenham but also other interested parties like Manchester United.
Player Performance and Impact
Semenyo, who has made a significant impact in Bournemouth’s squad under manager Andoni Iraola, boasts an impressive tally of 21 goals over the last two seasons. His strong performance this season has seen him net 13 goals in 42 matches across all competitions so far in 2024-25.
Spurs’ Transfer Plans
As new Spurs head coach Thomas Frank looks to bolster the team’s attacking lineup this summer, the arrival of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich has already been secured, with the player making the move permanent for €35 million (£29.9 million) plus potential bonuses amounting to €10 million (£8.5 million). Meanwhile, Frank is eager to entice Bryan Mbeumo to join him from Brentford; however, Mbeumo seems inclined to accept Manchester United’s initial bid of £45 million plus £10 million in add-ons for his services, submitted earlier this month.
Background on Antoine Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo made the jump to Bournemouth from Bristol City in January 2023 and extended his contract with the club last July for five years. Prior to his current stint, he accumulated 125 appearances for Bristol City and had loan experiences with Bath City, Newport County, and Sunderland throughout his career.
