Antoine Semenyo is a player in huge demand after an explosive start to the new Premier League season. 

Several clubs have been linked with a move including Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool.

Manchester United’s interest in the attacker goes back to the summer, with manager Ruben Amorim reportedly even meeting with Semenyo in person to try and convince him to join the Red Devils.

Spurs are another club linked with the Cherries’ star while Liverpool have most recently been linked with the player and are considered favourites to land him.

It was reported a few days ago that Liverpool have been contacted about the player’s availability with Bournemouth willing to sell him for the right price.

The latest update from transfer insider Indy Kaila is that Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is in direct contact with Bournemouth regarding the 25-year-old.

As per Indy, Liverpool are now leading the race to sign the Ghana international, with the player available for a fee close to £100m in the January transfer window but slightly cheaper next summer with £70m enough to prize him away.
