Bournemouth reveal price for Tottenham Hotspur to land Ghanian star Antoine Semenyo

Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, and they now know how much it will take to bring him to North London. The Cherries value him at around £70-80m, a hefty sum but one that reflects just how highly he is performing.

That is as per Metro. Semenyo has started this Premier League season in devastating fashion. In seven appearances he has already scored six goals and provided three assists, making him one of the most lethal attackers in England right now. That kind of output shows his sharpness, consistency, and finishing instincts, and it explains why so many clubs continue to show interest in him.

His record with Bournemouth over recent seasons is equally impressive. He has scored 28 goals and provided 13 assists in 97 top‑flight appearances. These numbers, combined with his pace, strength, and ability to take on defenders, have put him on the radar of several Premier League clubs. Earlier this year, Semenyo signed a new five‑year contract with Bournemouth, keeping him at the club until 2030 (Transfermarkt) to protect the Cherries’ investment and ensure they could command a premium for the 25-year-old London-born Ghana international.

Top-class winger!

Tottenham have been closely monitoring the situation, aware that signing a player of Semenyo’s calibre would be a major statement of intent. However, Bournemouth have been firm in their valuation. The club is unlikely to sell easily, especially midseason, and that any potential deal would require Spurs to meet the full asking price or agree favourable terms. And that’s something that could prove to be a challenge.

He is second in the league scoring charts, just behind Erling Haaland. He delivered a standout performance with a brace and an assist in Bournemouth’s 3-1 win over Fulham, and has been influential in lifting the Cherries to fourth place in the Premier League table

Competition is intense. Manchester United, Liverpool, and other top sides are continuing to keep tabs on Semenyo, making our pursuit a high-stakes race. The idea though, of him at Spurs is exciting. Deepening the attacking options and pushing Frank’s side closer to where they want to be. Yet the journey from interest to deal is long.

With top-six rivals closely tracking his progress and Bournemouth under no pressure to sell, the battle for Semenyo promises to be one of the headline stories of upcoming transfer windows.
