Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly turned up the heat in their hunt for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, but Manchester United remain in the race for his signature.<\/p>\n
Strengthening the attack is United\u2019s main focus this summer, with the club not only targeting a new striker but also seeking reinforcements in the number 10 role.<\/p>\n
Last month, United announced the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers and work is underway to get a deal for Brentford\u2019s Bryan Mbeumo over the line.<\/p>\n
Another name on United\u2019s radar is Antoine Semenyo, who impressed during the 2024\/25 campaign with Bournemouth, recording a career-best 11 goals and six assists across 37 Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n
In April, David Ornstein of The Athletic<\/a> relayed that Ruben Amorim is a big admirer of Semenyo. In fact, Ornstein said that Amorim is \u201cvery fond\u201d of the Ghana international.<\/p>\n Primarily a right-winger, Semenyo offers impressive versatility, capable of playing across all three forward positions. Comfortable with both feet, he could seamlessly slot into the number 10 role or operate as a wing-back within Amorim\u2019s favoured 3-4-2-1 formation.<\/p>\n A previous report<\/a> covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Bournemouth value Semenyo at \u00a370m.<\/p>\n In addition to United, the player has also been linked to Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Now, Sky Sports<\/a> have given an update, indicating that Tottenham are ramping up their pursuit of the 25-year-old, although he still has an eye on a switch to United.<\/p>\n Sky state that Tottenham have \u201cstepped up their interest\u201d in Semenyo, but United \u201cremain admirers\u201d of him despite having an opening bid for Mbeumo rejected.<\/p>\n It\u2019s understood Amorim\u2019s side \u201cremain keen\u201d on landing Semenyo, whose future at the Vitality Stadum hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n \u201cSky Sports News understands Spurs have recently done more work on Semenyo.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe is also on the list at Liverpool this summer and is believed to favour playing for a Champions League club \u2013 but has not yet ruled out a move to Old Trafford.\u201d<\/p>\n Featured image Ryan Pierse via Getty Images<\/p>\n
