"Arne Slot's side are said to be leading the race to land Semenyo in January. Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is said to be in direct contact with Bournemouth, using his strong relationship with his former employers to try and seal the deal. Mikel Arteta is also strongly interested in the player however, it has been reported that Arsenal will have to first sell a big name player in January in order to sign the attacker."
Liverpool are leading the January race to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who rejected around £50 million offers from Manchester United and Tottenham last summer. Semenyo signed a new long-term contract at Bournemouth that includes a £65 million release clause becoming active in January. Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is reportedly in direct contact with Bournemouth and benefits from a strong relationship with the club. Arsenal also hold interest but will likely need to sell a major player before making a move. Semenyo prefers Anfield and Liverpool’s stronger financial position strengthens their prospects. Semenyo could provide immediate attacking reinforcements after Luis Díaz’s departure and address Liverpool’s inconsistency up front, easing pressure on manager Arne Slot.
