Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham are locked in a transfer race to sign AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, according to reports.
Semenyo has been in incredible form for the south coast club this season, conjuring up six goals and three assists in seven Premier League games.
The Ghana international was linked to United and Spurs in the summer transfer window but stayed with the Cherries, signing a new contract.
But according to talkSPORTUnited and Spurs are ‘continuing to monitor’ Semenyo ahead of the January window, with Liverpool also now keen.
Bournemouth believe Semenyo is worth upwards of £75m and it’s thought any bid below that asking price will be instantly rejected by the Cherries.

Football pundit and former Bournemouth star Jamie Redknapp labelled Semenyo as ‘unique’ after Friday’s stunning performance against Fulham.
Semenyo registered two goals and an assist in the 3-1 victory over Fulham as Bournemouth continued their remarkable start to the 2025-26 season.
Andoni Iraola’s side, who have never finished higher than ninth in the top-flight in their 126-year history, are fourth after their opening seven games.
Are Arsenal in the race for Antoine Semenyo?
Interestingly, Arsenal were not mentioned by talkSPORT as being one of the clubs interested in signing Semenyo.
The 25-year-old is known to be an Arsenal supporter and some Gunners fans have urged the club to join the race for Semenyo on social media.
‘I am an Arsenal fan,’ Semenyo told The Athletic last year. ‘I don’t conflict the two with my job.
‘It is great to play against Arsenal, a team I have watched all my life and I want to play for the top clubs as well.
‘In order for that to happen I need to prove it.’
Quizzed if moving to a club like Arsenal would be ‘a dream come true’, Semenyo added: ‘Yeah, any team that plays Champions League, Europa (League) – that’s the aim.
‘I know that’s not going to come with a click of my fingers, it’s going to take some time. It’s going to take goals.
‘It’s going to take a lot of consistent performances. But I’ve worked all my life for that and I’m just going to continue working hard. That’s my mentality.’
Semenyo is a versatile attacking player who can be deployed as a left winger, right winger or centre-forward.
