Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian international has attracted the attention of the North London club with his impressive performances for the Cherries. According to Fichajes, Tottenham are impressed with his displays and they are ready to make a move for him in the near future.
The report states that Tottenham would be willing to spend around €40 million in order to get the deal done. Semenyo is highly rated in the Premier League and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could be a key player for Tottenham in the long run. However, they are already well stocked in the right-wing department and it remains to be seen whether they accommodate the Ghanaian.
Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski will be ahead of him in the pecking order and the 24-year-old is unlikely to want to sit on the bench at Tottenham. He is a key player for Bournemouth and he has scored three goals in six league games for them this season. He will look to continue his development with regular football with the Cherries.
There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for a bigger club and Semenyo will feel that he will get plenty of opportunities to join a top team in the near future if he can continue his development with regular football. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham could certainly use attacking reinforcements, but a right winger would not make a lot of sense. They should look to invest in another reliable goal scorer who can share the goalscoring burden with Dominic Solanke and support him in the attack.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are certainly heading towards the upcoming international break in much better mood after dismantling Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Ange Postecoglou does still have two fairly tricky ties for Tottenham to navigate beforehand, an away trip to face Ferencvaros on Thursday before visiting Brighton on the weekend.
Were Spurs able to secure two more wins, making it six on the bounce in all competitions, their lacklustre start would be all but remedied.
There’s no doubt that Spurs’ return to form has been helped by Brennan Johnson, who seems determined to prove a point.
Johnson deleted his social media after receiving abuse for his performances last month, a player who now seems to be in a much better space.
Chris Sutton seriously impressed by Cristian Romero at Tottenham
Speaking on the BBC’s ‘Monday Night Club’, Chris Sutton took a moment to talk about a different Spurs player after their 3-0 win on Sunday, Cristian Romero.
Romero kept a clean sheet alongside Micky van de Ven, who also provided an incredible assist for Johnson’s opener.
Romero himself almost scored a spectacular volley, one that demonstrated all of his attacking flair that exists in addition to his defending.
But when speaking on the podcast, it was Romero’s robust defending that Sutton was most impressed with, saying he was an ‘animal’ he’d hate to play against.
Sutton said: “I mean, you wouldn’t want to go up against Romero. He is super aggressive, isn’t he?
“He is an animal at times, the way that he uses his body and attacks the ball. I think he is phenomenal.”
Dominic Solanke also deserves credit at Spurs
In similar fashion to Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke was being incredibly harshly written off after just 180 minutes in a Tottenham shirt.
Solanke couldn’t move for talk of his ‘goal drought’ or ‘barren run’, despite the fact that his time in N17 was only just beginning.
However, the Englishman showed his poacher instincts at Old Trafford, scoring Spurs’ third goal.
James Maddison was delighted with Solanke – even if he did also give him one little tip for improvement.
A much more positive period for Spurs, who need two more big performances before the break.
