Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are amongst the list of Premier League teams interested in Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo. Newcastle and Tottenham round out the list of clubs known to have registered an interest in Semenyo last summer, before the player put pen to paper on an extension through 2030.
The 25-year-old has impressed since joining Bournemouth from Bristol City in January of 2023. He’s bagged 23 goals in 86 Premier League appearances for the Cherries, becoming one of the league’s most consistent attacking threats.
His breakthrough campaign was the 2024/25 season, where he scored 13 goals and added seven assists across all competitions. The 25-year-old is off to a flying start this season already, scoring three goals and providing two assists in five Premier League appearances as Bournemouth sit fourth in the table.
TeamTalk has reported that Bournemouth are bracing for interest in their key man in 2026, and have slapped a £70m evaluation on the player. Semenyo’s new deal does not include a release clause which could trigger a standoff if any concrete interest materializes.
Premier League giants tracking Semenyo
Semenyo won’t be short on suitors if his hot form continues. He has previously revealed that he is a boyhood Arsenal fan and the Gunners are reportedly keeping tabs on his progress.
Arsenal signed Noni Madueke this summer to deputize for Bukayo Saka in right wing, but many supporters would point out that the left is still an area of concern for Arsenal. Semenyo is comfortable on both flanks thanks to his weak foot ability, and can also play as a central striker.
Liverpool and Manchester United also recruited heavily in the attacking areas this summer, but the latter in particular could still be on the lookout for reinforcements. United sit 11th in the table and have only managed six goals so far this campaign. The left side of their attack is also seen as an area for improvement with Mason Mount dividing fans’ opinions.
