Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur could soon find themselves back in the hunt for one of the Premier League’s most in-form attackers.
However, as Transfer News Live reported earlier, Liverpool are leading this race. And they have to decide whether they will pursue this deal in January or next summer.
Even after signing the likes of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United’s attack looks blunt.
So far in 7 Premier League games, Manchester United have scored just 9 goals. Also, they have conceded 11 goals, which is not something a good team would do.
For the Spurs, they are in a slightly better position attacking-wise as they have netted 13 times and are in the top 4 in the table.
However, Thomas Frank is also looking to improve his attack. The Danish boss wants to compete with big teams. That is why he is eager to add quality to his squad.
As for Liverpool, they are looking to replace Luis Diaz. Also, next summer, they are looking at Michael Olise, who can be the replacement for Mohamed Salah if he leaves.
That is why the Reds are also looking to add a quality forward. And Premier League clubs usually prefer players who have proven themselves in the Premier League.
Now, all three clubs have set their sights on Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.
The Ghana international has become a key figure for Bournemouth and continues to attract attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Bournemouth managed to tie him down to a new long-term deal, which runs until 2030.
According to talkSPORT, the winger’s deal includes a release clause, meaning interested clubs could make a move if they meet the set figure.
The exact amount remains undisclosed, but Bournemouth are understood to value him at more than £75 million.
The Liverpool Sporting Director, Richard Hughes, is in direct talks with the Cherries for Semenyo. However, both United and Spurs have the capability to match Semenyo’s release clause.
