Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo reveals preferred next club

Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo has revealed his preference for his next club, amid strong links away from the Vitality Stadium in the January transfer window.

Semenyo’s remarkable form has sparked a three-way Premier League bidding war among fellow giants, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Ghanaian international, who signed a fresh five-year contract extension with the Cherries in the summer, has already scored six goals this season in the Premier League.

Only Erling Haaland (11) and Igor Thiago (8) have scored more Premier League goals than Semenyo this season, as he continues to impress suitors.

The 25-year-old recorded 11 goals for Andoni Iraola’s side last year, marking a significant season for the former Bristol City forward.

The Bournemouth forward reportedly has a £65 million release clause in his new contract, which will be effective in January, leading to multiple interests from top clubs.

Bournemouth are expected to allow him to leave if a club activates his clause within the first two weeks of January, and if he also agrees to an early exit.

Meanwhile, Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim reportedly met Semenyo at the end of last season before he turned down a move to Old Trafford and signed his new deal.

The ex-Bristol City star, who once told The Athletic, “I’m an Arsenal fan – I don’t let that clash with my job,” may now be holding out for a dream switch to the Emirates.

“It is great to play against Arsenal, a team I have watched all my life and I want to play for the top clubs as well. In order for that to happen, I need to prove it.

“Any team that plays Champions League (Europa League) – that’s the aim. I know that’s not going to come with a click of my fingers; it’s going to take some time.

“It’s going to take goals. It’s going to take a lot of consistent performances. But I’ve worked all my life for that, and I’m just going to continue working hard. That’s my mentality.”
