Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo is attracting interest from top English Premier League sides, including Liverpool, ahead of the winter transfer window in January.

The in-form forward is also on the radar of Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur following a blistering start to the new season for AFC Bournemouth.

The 24-year-old, who has netted three goals and provided an assist in six games, could leave Vitality Stadium in 2025.

According to reports in England, Liverpool are preparing to make an official offer for the striker, considered a rising star in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Spurs are interested in reuniting the Ghanaian winger with former teammate Dominic Solanke, as manager Ange Postecoglou eyes a trophy in his second year.

Newcastle United are eager to strengthen their attack with Semenyo due to the fitness problems of Swedish forward Alexander Isak.

Semenyo joined the Cherries in January 2023 and, after a slow start, took the Premier League by storm last season, scoring eight goals to help Bournemouth finish in a respectable 12th position with their best points haul in the league.

The former Bristol City striker has netted 12 goals in 50 Premier League games since signing for the top-flight side.
