Liverpool keeping tabs on £11m Bournemouth player who has ’all the ability in the world’

Liverpool made just one attacking signing this summer in Federico Chiesa, yet transfer rumours seem to suggest that Arne Slot wants more heading into 2025.

Dario Osorio has emerged as a target for Liverpool with the Reds even making a bid for the Chile international this summer that was swiftly rejected by FC Midtjylland, with Omar Marmoush also wanted by the Anfield side.

With Mohamed Salah due to leave Liverpool next summer, it makes sense why there has been a significant increase in the number of forwards the Merseyside giants are now being linked with as we inch towards the January transfer window.

And Liverpool are now seemingly keen on a Premier League attacker who has caught the eye this season.

Liverpool watching AFC Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo

According to GiveMeSport, Liverpool are one of many Premier League sides keeping tabs on AFC Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo, who this season has been in fine form for the Cherries.

Recently hailed by teammate Lewis Cook as a player who ‘has all the ability in the world’ as per BBC Sport, Semenyo was one of Bournemouth’s unsung heroes last season under Andoni Iraola, with the Ghana international hitting eight goals and registering two assists in the Premier League.

And seven games into this season, Semenyo has again been in red-hot form for Bournemouth, with the former Bristol City man already on three goals and an assist for the south coast side, with the 24-year-old seeing one goal ruled out at Anfield against Liverpool.

Indeed, with Semenyo getting increasingly more productive in the Premier League with each new season, it makes sense why Liverpool would be keeping tabs on the former Championship star, who could be an option in 2025 when it comes to looking into a successor for Salah.

Semenyo would be an interesting fit at Liverpool

Primarily a right-winger but capable of playing centrally or out on the left, Semenyo’s attacking versatility makes the Ghana international an interesting option for Liverpool, with the forward having all the qualities to be a real hit on Anfield.

However, the stumbling block for Liverpool could be Bournemouth’s financial demands for Semenyo, with the Cherries coming out of a summer where star striker Dominic Solanke was sold for a club-record £65m.

And if Semenyo can become as productive as the England international this season, Bournemouth would be well within their right to make a similar call for the winger, especially with some much interest heading into January.
