Newcastle United are reportedly interested in Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo as they look to strengthen their attack. However, they’re not alone, with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur also in the race for the 24-year-old winger. According to Football Insider, Bournemouth are willing to let Semenyo leave for a fee in the region of £40-50 million.
Newcastle are seeking more quality and depth in their attacking lineup, and Semenyo could be the perfect fit. Known for his pace, versatility, and goal-scoring ability, the winger can play across the front three. His Premier League experience with Bournemouth makes him an attractive option for the Magpies, who are looking for immediate impact signings.
Can Newcastle win the race for Semenyo?
Newcastle’s financial strength positions them well to meet Bournemouth’s asking price, but with competition from Arsenal and Tottenham, securing Semenyo's signature won’t be easy. Arsenal are eager to add depth to their wing options, especially with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli needing more rotation. Similarly, Tottenham may be looking for alternatives to underperforming forwards like Richarlison, and Semenyo could be a useful addition.
Semenyo’s ambition to compete at the top level may make Arsenal and Spurs attractive options, but Newcastle’s exciting project and regular playing time could sway his decision. It remains to be seen if the Magpies can convince the 24-year-old to head to St. James’ Park.
As the transfer window approaches, this battle for Semenyo’s signature is one to watch closely.
