Tottenham Hotspur have been keeping tabs on the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo for a while, and they could submit an offer for him now.
The 25-year-old Ghana International has been linked with the move to the North London club in recent months, and it seems that Tottenham are now prepared to get the deal done.
According to Fichajes, they are ready to go all out and offer £51 million to sign the 25-year-old attacker. The report further claims that stocks could accelerate in the coming days. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal across the line.
The player has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United as well.
Tottenham need a dynamic attacker
It is no secret that they need a dynamic attacker like Semenyo, who is capable of operating across the three. He will add goals and creativity to the side. The player has shown his quality with the Cherries this season, and he has 18 goal contributions.
His numbers could improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players. There is no doubt that he would be an exciting addition for Tottenham.
Timo Werner is set to leave the club when his loan deal expires, and Richarlison could follow him out the door. Spurs will need to replace them, and Semenyo seems like the ideal acquisition.
Antoine Semenyo could fancy Spurs move
The player is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to compete at the highest level. Spurs might be able to help him fight for trophies and compete in Europe.
Even though they have been quite disappointing this season, they could still secure Champions League qualification for the next season if they manage to win the UEFA Europa League. They have made it to the semifinals of the tournament. They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. The 25-year-old attacker will certainly want to be a part of that.

'We haven’t talked yet…' – Liverpool regular says no discussions have been held over new deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold has penned a poignant tribute to Diogo Jota outside Anfield
Trent Alexander-Arnold has paid a poignant tribute to the late Diogo Jota at Anfield on Monday night. Four months ago today, the 28-year-old and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a car crash in northern Spain, with Liverpool’s stadium becoming a shrine to the siblings in the days after the tragedy as thousands of people paid their respects. The Reds’ former vice-captain is back on Merseyside for Real Madrid’s Champions League fixture against LFC on Tuesday, and he penned a heartfelt message in tribute to a man alongside whom he played for five years. Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid pay their respects to Diogo Jota As per liverpoolfc.com, Alexander-Arnold was joined by teammate Dean Huijsen, manager Xabi Alonso and Los Blancos’ Director of Institutional Relations Emilio Butragueno in laying floral memorials at the area of remembrance at Anfield in honour of Diogo and Andre. The former Liverpool right-back wrote his own tribute to our forever number 20, which reads: ‘My mate Diogo, you are so missed but still so loved. Yours and Andre’s memory will always live on. I smile every time I think about you and will always remember the great times we shared. ‘Miss you mate, every day. Forever 20 YNWA. Love, Trent and family.’ Alexander-Arnold’s tribute will be greatly appreciated Alexander-Arnold may have angered many Liverpool fans over the manner in which he left the club, and he could be subjected to an unpleasant reception at Anfield tomorrow night as he plays against the Reds for the first time. However, everyone associated with LFC (including supporters) will greatly appreciate his heartfelt tribute to Diogo, and it must’ve been particularly hard for the 27-year-old to have missed the funeral in July due to Real Madrid’s concurrent involvement in the Club World Cup. It mustn’t be forgotten that he too has been grieving the loss of a teammate and friend, and we just hope that he has the necessary support network around him in the Spanish capital to help him through the tragedy. Everyone at Empire of the Kop would like to thank the Real Madrid delegation for taking the time to pay their respects to Diogo and Andre outside Anfield tonight, yet another reminder that while results on the pitch aren’t trivial, there are matters of far bigger importance in life than the outcome of a match.
Vikings injury updates from KOC include news on Aaron Jones, Ryan Kelly
During his day-after-game press conference on Monday afternoon, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell provided injury updates on a variety of players, including the first news in a while on center Ryan Kelly. From an overall perspective, the Vikings emerged from Sunday's upset win in Detroit in very good health, which is encouraging as they head into the second half of the season. "Christian Darrisaw, Brian O'Neill, J.J. McCarthy, and Andrew Van Ginkel all came out in a really positive place, health-wise," O'Connell said of four key players who have missed time this season but are now back in the lineup. Aaron Jones Jones was one of the Vikings' best players on Sunday, racking up 98 yards on 11 touches before departing with a shoulder injury just two snaps into the third quarter. The initial reporting is that he suffered a mild AC joint sprain and has a chance to play this week against the Ravens. O'Connell talked about Jones' status a bit more on Monday. "Positive news early on," he said. "He's sore, obviously, coming out of the game, but the evaluations have been pretty positive today. We'll see how he does throughout the week, but expecting him to be able to hopefully ramp up his workload and I'll give you guys an update as the week goes on." It'll be worth paying attention to the injury reports later this week to see if Jones can go. If he does play, he figures to lead the Vikings' backfield against Baltimore. If he can't go, Jordan Mason would return to the lead role. Ryan Kelly Not surprisingly, there haven't been any updates on Kelly, the Vikings' starting center, since his second concussion in a 15-day span landed him on injured reserve a month ago. He's now missed the last four games and is eligible to return to action, but the Vikings haven't even opened his practice window yet. The good news is that Kelly's ramp-up process appears to be starting, as he'll do some work with trainers on a side field this week. "Don't really have an update at this time of opening his window or anything like that, but want to get him started," O'Connell said. "He seems to be in a good place, and (we) want to see the next part of that process begin." Blake Brandel has started the last four games at center after Michael Jurgens filled in there earlier in the season. It would be big for the Vikings if they can get Kelly back at some point and perhaps have their entire starting offensive line healthy for the first time all year. Theo Jackson and others Jackson, one of the Vikings' top three safeties, has entered concussion protocol after reporting some mild symptoms on Monday morning, O'Connell said. "He came in this morning with some very mild symptoms and we want to be safe there, so he'll go into the concussion protocol. We'll see how he can progress throughout the week." Jackson was an every-down player earlier this year when Harrison Smith was out, but he played just 16 defensive snaps in Detroit on Sunday. O'Connell also said that fullback C.J. Ham (hand) should "return to practice in a limited capacity" and that blocking tight end Josh Oliver (foot) will "begin working his way back on the side field with the trainers." Nick Vannett and Ben Yurosek would continue to be involved on offense if Oliver doesn't return this week.
NFL insider says the Commanders are now open to being sellers at NFL trade deadline, with two specific players in mind
The Washington Commanders' season is officially over after getting blown out by the Seattle Seahawks at home and losing quarterback Jayden Daniels with a gruesome elbow injury. The roster needs a complete makeover, and general manager Adam Peters has a lot of work to do this season. The season is still going on, however, and changes can be made right now with the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon. There's no doubt that the Commanders need to recoup as many draft picks as possible since they only have six picks right now, and one NFL insider says they are open to moving several players. The Commanders are open to trading Andrew Wylie or Nick Allegretti The Commanders don't have a lot of assets, but NFL insider Jordan Shultz reports that they are open to trading several players, including offensive linemen Andrew Wylie and Nick Allegretti. Teams need offensive linemen at the trade deadline, and they should have plenty of buyers who will be interested in either of the two. Wylie restructured his contract to remain in Washington and would likely fetch more draft capital between the two. He has shown that he can play at both tackle and guard, and a playoff team should be all over his availability. Allegretti is absolutely a guard, but he was also taking center reps at training camp, and could be a great piece to add with valuable experience in Washington and Kansas City. The Commanders spent a ton of draft capital on the offensive line between trading for Laremy Tunsil and drafting Josh Conerly Jr. in the first round, and the line is still struggling. There's no point in keeping both Wylie and Allegretti with Brandon Coleman back to being active, Sam Cosmi starting again, and Chris Paul becoming the starting left guard. These aren't the only players the Commanders could trade, though. Commanders need to trade whoever they can At this point in the season, the Commanders have to see who they won't be bringing back next year and try to collect picks at the deadline. This list would include Deebo Samuel, Noah Igbinoghene, Jonathan Jones, Jeremy McNichols, Chris Rodriguez, Bobby Wagner, and Zach Ertz. It should be an all-out fire sale at this point, and all free agents coming up should be shipped away for any draft capital you can get, because a majority of them shouldn't be back next season anyway.
Tua Tagovailoa’s future with the Miami Dolphins reportedly in question
After a disappointing start to the season, Tua Tagovailoa’s future with the Miami Dolphins has come into question. The Dolphins suffered another embarrassing defeat this part Thursday as it fell to the Baltimore Ravens 28-6. Shortly after the loss, the franchise announced that it had parted ways with long time general manager Chris Grier who is the first domino to fall in another expected rebuild of the team. Despite speculation in the weeks leading up to this week’s game, head coach Mike McDaniel will have some more to try and turn things around and end the season on the right foot according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. But Rapoport did note that the team could explore its options when it comes to Tagovailoa at quarterback. The duo of McDaniel and Tagovailoa previously formed one of the top offenses in the NFL alongside star wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but it has since soured through nine games this year. The loss of Hill for the season was a massive blow to the unit, but the deterioration of the relationship between the head coach and quarterback has sunk surely sunk any hopes. Tagovailoa in particular has not performed up to his previous standard as he currently leads the NFL in turnovers with 11 interceptions on the season. His elite traits of accuracy and timing on his passes in McDaniel’s system has appeared to have eroded, and the Miami offense has been wildly inconsistent week in and week out. According to Rapoport, if Tagovailoa’s play doesn’t improve soon then a change at quarterback will become “reasonable” and a potential benching is not off the table. Behind Tagovailoa sits former No. 2 overall pick Zack Wilson who has started 33 games with the New York Jets along with seventh round rookie Quinn Ewers out of Texas. But Tagovailoa’s contract situation would force Miami to not only be sure that performance could improve with a change but also that a financial exit of Tagovailoa would be viable. Tagovailoa signed a four-year $212.4 million contract extension last offseason and is tied to Miami through 2026 with $54 million guaranteed next year. That leaves Miami with the option of trading the former Alabama quarterback which would likely involve the front office paying down a majority of contract to make his deal more attractive to other teams. Or similarly to what the Denver Broncos did with Russell Wilson, release Tagovailoa and set a new record of a $99.2 million cap hit which could be spread out over multiple seasons. Either way, the sunny skies have dimmed in Miami with major changes on the upcoming forecast.
