Liverpool have reportedly entered the race to sign AFC Bournemouth’s red-hot forward, Antoine Semenyo, as the January transfer window approaches. The 25-year-old Ghanaian international, who has already notched five goals and two assists this season, has caught the attention of top Premier League sides, including Newcastle United.
According to Sportsblog247.com, Liverpool view Semenyo as a cost-effective alternative to Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, whose price tag remains steep. Semenyo’s consistent performances, including eight goals and two assists in 33 appearances last season, have solidified his reputation as one of the league’s most versatile attacking options.
Despite boasting a formidable attacking lineup—featuring Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Federico Chiesa—Liverpool are reportedly open to reshuffling their squad. Speculation surrounds potential exits for Nunez and Chiesa, while Salah’s contract uncertainty has fueled rumours of a departure in 2025.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are believed to be interested in Liverpool’s 18-year-old rising star, Ben Doak. This has sparked talks of a potential swap deal, with Semenyo valued at approximately £50 million.
Newcastle United are also monitoring the Ghanaian forward, whose physicality and versatility have made him a desirable target for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.
As of now, no official bids have been made, but the prospect of Semenyo joining Liverpool adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming transfer window. Whether Liverpool will pull off a swap deal or sell one of their stars to make way for the Bournemouth talisman remains to be seen.
