The race to sign Antoine Semenyo is heating up, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United all showing strong interest in the £50 million-rated Bournemouth forward. However, new reports suggest that Arsenal may have the upper hand in the pursuit of the in-form Ghanaian star.
According to sources close to the situation, Arsenal’s style of play and long-term project under Mikel Arteta are particularly appealing to Semenyo, who has reportedly already identified his “dream club” — and it is not Liverpool or Manchester United.
Semenyo has enjoyed a breakout campaign at Bournemouth, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic attacking threats. His explosive pace, work rate, and ability to score from multiple positions have attracted the attention of several top clubs both in England and abroad.
Liverpool and Manchester United are believed to have monitored his progress for months, but Arsenal’s system could be a better tactical fit for the versatile attacker. Arteta’s side have been looking for additional firepower to complement the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard, and Semenyo’s profile matches the type of player the Gunners have been targeting.
With Bournemouth expected to demand a fee in the region of £50 million, the coming transfer window could see an intense bidding war among England’s elite.
For now, though, Arsenal appear to be in pole position — and with Semenyo’s preference already clear, the Gunners could be ready to make their move.
