Tottenham Hotspur are very interested in signing the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo during the summer transfer window.
According to Football Insider, they are keeping tabs on the player, and they will face competition from Manchester United as well.
However, the Red Devils are focused on Bryan Mbeumo, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham get a free run at the Ghanaian international.
The 25-year-old has been outstanding for the Cherries, and he scored 13 goals last season. He picked up seven assists along the way as well. Tottenham need a dynamic attacker like him who can slot in anywhere across the front three.
According to former Premier League scout Mick Brown, Tottenham are very impressed with his performance, and they could look to make a move in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. They need to improve the attacking unit if they want to do well next year.
Brown said: “Semenyo has had a very good season at Bournemouth and a lot of clubs have taken note of that.
“Tottenham are certainly among them, and they’ve been very impressed by what they’ve seen.
“He’s built a justified reputation for himself and now I think he’s ready for the step up.
“With Man United focusing elsewhere, Tottenham will be given the chance to make a move with a free run at him, and I expect they’ll want to take that chance.”
Semenyo is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at the London club. The opportunity to join a club with Champions League football will be quite exciting for him as well. It could be the ideal step up in his career.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham are expected to bring in Thomas Frank as their new manager. He is certainly one of the best managers in the Premier League, and the 25-year-old attacker could be tempted to work with him.
