"Chelsea have made an inquiry about signing Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. The winger's deal contains a 65m release clause in January and he is also a target for Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. Chelsea were not regarded as a likely destination for Semenyo but have contacted the player's camp to explore the conditions of a deal. There is optimism at Stamford Bridge that the Ghana international will be interested in joining."
"I understand that there is a lot of noise around Antoine but my concern is that it doesn't affect him, his performances, and we are seeing that it is not affecting his performances. He is very committed to the team and I hope we can keep him there. There are situations that we cannot control but right now Antoine is our player and he's going to continue playing for us."
"Semenyo would offer an added aerial threat and enviable pace and power. He has scored eight goals and provided three assists in the Premier League this season. Chelsea are not short of options in attacking midfield, with Enzo Maresca able to choose from Cole Palmer, Jamie Gittens, Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho, Estevao Willian, Joao Pedro and Facundo Buonanotte, who is on loan from Brighton."
Chelsea have contacted Antoine Semenyo's representatives to explore a potential transfer, with a 65m release clause becoming active in January. Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are also among the clubs showing interest. Chelsea view the 25-year-old Ghana international as a London-born player who could join their long-term project and make an immediate impact by adding aerial threat, pace and power. Semenyo has scored eight Premier League goals and provided three assists this season and can play on both flanks and as a striker. Bournemouth hope to retain him but accept market realities.
