Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur are all keeping a close eye on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo as the January transfer window approaches. The Ghanaian attacker has emerged as one of the Premier League’s in-form players, attracting increasing attention from clubs higher up the table.
Semenyo, now 25, committed his future to Bournemouth during the summer by signing a new contract, even though there was interest at the time from Tottenham and Manchester United. That decision has so far paid off, as his performances this season have shown significant growth. After finishing last season with 11 Premier League goals, he has continued to develop into a consistent attacking threat, making him a genuine target for several top sides.
**No truth to transfer request rumours**
In recent days, speculation has circulated suggesting that Semenyo has formally requested to leave Bournemouth. However, those close to the player insist the reports are inaccurate. Semenyo is reportedly frustrated by the claims and wants it clear that he has **not** pushed for an exit. Instead, he remains fully committed to his club and focused on his football.
Semenyo has been one of Bournemouth’s standout performers this season, impressing scouts with his versatility, speed, physical strength, and ability to influence games in the final third. His improvement has been noted across the league, making him one of the more attractive attacking options heading into the next window.
**Semenyo addresses transfer talk**
Speaking to Sky Sports, Semenyo acknowledged that he is aware of the ongoing rumours but insisted they are not a distraction. He explained that he prefers to concentrate on his performances and not get drawn into constant speculation.
“I don’t think about it too much,” he said. “I like to stay present. You see the rumours — I see them as well — but my focus stays on what I’m doing for Bournemouth.”
Ahead of Bournemouth’s clash with Manchester City, he also revealed to Jamie Redknapp that he still believes staying at Bournemouth in the summer was the right move for his career at this stage.
**What lies ahead in January**
With elite Premier League teams continuing to track his progress, it is expected that genuine bids could arrive once the January window opens. For the moment, though, Semenyo remains dedicated to Bournemouth’s ambitions for the season and is determined to help the club continue their strong campaign.
