Bournemouth are considering a move for Ghanaian winger Fatawu Issahaku to occupy the right‑wing position and strengthen their squad, following the possible departure of Antoine Semenyo.

According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League side are monitoring Issahaku closely and are looking to sign him in the January transfer window.

It is also reported that Nottingham Forest’s James McAtee is on the list of potential signings who could add creativity and goals from the wings.

Leicester City are said to be demanding £30 million before releasing the player, a price Sunderland and Everton were quoted when they inquired about him last season.

Whether the deal will materialize will be decided in the coming days as Semenyo’s move edges closer.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are reportedly finalizing talks to sign Semenyo, aiming to complete the deal by January 1, 2026.

The Citizens are understood to have agreed to pay his £65 million release clause in three installments to manage their finances.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United had all shown interest in the Black Stars forward, but some have since withdrawn, while others pulled out entirely.
