for any club to acquire the talented Ghanaian.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old is the second highest goalscorer in the English top-flight after seven matches and has rightly warranted intense attention from top clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the\u00a0<strong>Inside Track podcast<\/strong> over the mystery behind the number 24\u2019s eye-watering release clause, I explained: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change it massively, but clubs will be aware of this release clause that there is a certain figure that can be met to allow them to activate it and try and sign <a

obviously make things easier, this release clause, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll change anything in that respect because I think it\u2019ll be a pretty open race for Antoine Semenyo probably next summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no doubts that he\u2019s one of the most in-form players in the Premier League and obviously that results in massive interest in his services as
