TBR Football can exclusively confirm that Bournemouth are willing to sell Antoine Semenyo this summer amid interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.
Plenty of Premier League clubs are expected to be busy in the summer transfer market as they look for more fruitful campaigns next time out.
Arsenal will want to strengthen in order to win the Premier League, while Liverpool will be keen on competing on multiple fronts including the Champions League.
Manchester United and Tottenham have had poor domestic campaigns and will want to do better, while Newcastle will be eager to kick on after winning the Carabao Cup.
TBR Football can also confirm what Semenyo’s most likely destination is amid interest from so many Premier League clubs.
Bournemouth willing to sell Antoine Semenyo but Saudi Pro League more likely destination than Premier League at present
Sources have confirmed to TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey that Bournemouth will allow Antoine Semenyo to depart this summer.
This is despite the likely departures of Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez, both of whom have also impressed for the Cherries over the past nine months.
It had been suggested that Bournemouth would not look to let another major asset out of the door, when Kerkez and Huijsen leave.
However, TBR Football understands that they will sanction a deal, but only for the right offer.
Semenyo has been linked to a number of Premier League clubs and we can confirm that he has been watched closely by the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Tottenham and Newcastle.
However, we understand the most likely destination for him could be the Saudi Pro League.
We are told Bournemouth would look for more than £60million for the Ghana superstar and, as it stands, that is likely to be above the valuation of any of his English suitors.
The Premier League club Antoine Semenyo supports who wants to sign him this summer
Although the Saudi Pro League is Semenyo’s most likely destination as things stand, things could always change in the coming months.
Interestingly, Semenyo supports one of the clubs who are interested in him, so that could potentially sway both parties thanks to the emotional factor.
Last year, Semenyo revealed that he is an Arsenal fan, and he said he would eventually like to sign for a team of that calibre that is playing in Europe.
“I am an Arsenal fan,” Semenyo told The Athletic. “I don’t conflict the two with my job.
“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.”
Semenyo was then asked if he’d like to sign for a team like Arsenal.
“Yeah, any team that plays Champions League, Europa (League) — that’s the aim,” he said.
“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.”
