As the January transfer window approaches, Liverpool finds itself in need of reinforcements. Despite investing over £400 million in the summer, Arne Slot has struggled to integrate his new signings effectively, leaving the Reds’ season off to a disjointed start.
Fans have speculated about the squad’s weaknesses, and rumors linking Liverpool to Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo have sparked plenty of excitement. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in the dynamic Ghanaian, and supporters are eager about the prospect of him joining Anfield.
However, while Semenyo could add value, his signing may not be essential. Liverpool already boasts a wealth of attacking talent, and the 25-year-old, who played for Bristol City less than three years ago, is unlikely to dramatically shift the team’s fortunes.
Instead, strengthening the midfield could be a more strategic move. Recent reports have linked Liverpool to AZ Alkmaar prodigy Kees Smit, suggesting the club may be preparing to focus on that area.
Smit represents a potentially more impactful target than Semenyo. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has the ability to contribute meaningfully, providing another option in Slot’s midfield and offering a capable backup for Ryan Gravenberch.
With the January window approaching, Liverpool fans may have even bigger reasons to get excited than the prospect of a Semenyo signing
