Liverpool could be preparing a sensational move for Bournemouth’s in-form forward Antoine Semenyo, as sporting director Richard Hughes remains a huge admirer of the Ghanaian star.

Hughes, who initially brought Semenyo to the Premier League from Bristol City for just £10.5 million during his time at Bournemouth, is said to be keeping a close eye on the 25-year-old’s blistering rise.

Semenyo has been one of the standout performers in the league this season, netting six goals — second only to Erling Haaland — and providing three assists, prompting Bournemouth to value him at over £75 million.

His explosive pace, relentless work rate, and eye for goal have caught the attention of several top clubs, but Liverpool’s internal admiration, driven by Hughes’ connection, could give them an early advantage in the race for his signature.
