Tottenham Hotspur were busy in the summer transfer window, making a host of exciting signings for the present and the future.

And though the January transfer window is 11 weeks away, speculation is starting to do the rounds with regards to players Spurs could target in the new year.

Now, according to a report from GiveMeSport, Tottenham have set their sights on a highly sought-after Premier League attacker who’s “got everything”.

However, the player in question is also said to be a target for Liverpool and Newcastle United along with Spurs.

Tottenham set sights on Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo

The player in question is Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, who has gone from strength to strength since arriving at the Vitality Stadium in January 2023.

According to GiveMeSport, the 24-year-old’s form in the Premier League has attracted interest from the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Newcastle, who have been watching him.

Semenyo is said to be the perfect age profile for a new signing for many Premier League clubs.

And with 50 Premier League appearances to his name, he is very much proven in the English top flight.

Bournemouth are extremely keen not to lose the Ghana international, especially so soon after losing Dominic Solanke.

And with Semenyo’s contract running until January 2029, the Cherries’ hand will be strong in any negotiations.

Who is Tottenham target Antoine Semenyo?

Antoine Semenyo came through the ranks at Bristol City and became a star for the Robins, with 21 goals and 21 assists from 125 competitive senior outings.

Bournemouth signed Semenyo in January 2023 for a fee in excess of £10million, according to BBC Sport.

He has made 55 competitive appearances to date for the Cherries, registering 12 goals and three assists in the process.

In December last year, Semenyo described his style of play to The Mirror, saying: “I like to hunt people down.

“I feel like that side of things suits me and my style of play. I feel like I’ve got the skillset to play out wide; I like to dribble and create stuff out of nothing whenever I can, so it suits.”

Jamie Redknapp waxed lyrical about Semenyo on Sky Sports after Bournemouth's clash against Newcastle in August.

"Bournemouth were certainly the better team and in Semenyo on the right wing, he's an absolute star,” he said.

“He cost £10million from Bristol City, what a great signing he was, he is worth a fortune. Elegant, graceful, powerful player, he's got everything that young man."
