Liverpool have reportedly received a huge boost in their pursuit of Manchester United target and AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo. TEAMtalk.
The 25-year-old showed glimpses of his qualities last season, scoring 19 goals in all competitions. He has continued to show his productivity this season, scoring six goals and providing three assists in fourteen Premier League appearances so far.
As a result, he is starting to attract a lot of attention ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window. TEAMtalk claim that Man Utd, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are showing serious interest in purchasing the forward.
Although the striker would be open to joining any of these three clubs, he is keen to move to Anfield. Liverpool plan to sign him as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
After starting on the bench in three consecutive Premier League matches, the Egyptian became frustrated and recently delivered a fiery interview.
As a result, he was left out of the Champions League squad against Inter Milan in the Champions League. So, the attacker wants to leave the Merseyside club to take on a new challenge in his career.
Semenyo to Liverpool
The report claims that Bournemouth are unwilling to let Semenyo leave in January after recently giving him a new term until 2030. However, there is nothing they can do if he wants to leave as the forward has a £65m release clause.
The Cherries have thus started exploring options to replace the Ghanaian and have identified Ipswich Town star Jaden Philogene as a serious target.
The AFCON will kick off on December 21 and the African players will unite with their countries to participate in this tournament. However, Ghana failed to qualify, so Semenyo will not leave.
The former Bristol City star is comfortable on either flank and efficient with either foot. He has shown his qualities in the Premier League in recent times and would be a great move for Liverpool if they were to sign him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately manages to lure him to Anfield by beating other English clubs in this race.
