Antoine Semenyo is a player in high demand after an explosive start to the Premier League season.
Several clubs have been linked with a move, including Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool.
Manchester United’s interest in the striker dates back to the summer, with manager Ruben Amorim even reportedly meeting Semenyo in person to try to convince him to join the Red Devils.
Spurs are another club linked with the Cherries star, while Liverpool have recently been linked with the player and are considered favorites to sign him.

Liverpool’s attack has struggled this season
This update will come as a huge boost to Liverpool fans who have seen their team struggle in attack this season despite heavy spending in the summer.
The left side of the attack has not been the same since the departure of Luis Diaz. Cody Gakpo failed to be a real threat on the wing while Mo Salah also looked far from his brilliant self.
He has scored six goals and assisted three others in nine games so far, second only to Erling Haaland for most goal contributions.
His explosive start to the season took his tally for Bournemouth to 28 goals and 13 assists in 97 games.
Semenyo’s strongest attribute is his versatility which allows him to play inside the top three.
| Played like… | Appearances | Goals | Aids |
|---|---|---|---|
| Center forward | 73 | 12 | 13 |
| Right winger | 54 | 13 | 6 |
| Left winger | 53 | 10 | 8 |

Liverpool have perhaps found a player closest to Sadio Mané in terms of direct style of play and versatility.
It remains to be seen whether they decide to go big on signing him in January or wait to sign him for a slightly reduced fee.
