Tottenham Want to Sign ‘One of the Fastest Wingers in the Premier League’

Tottenham are keen to sign Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo this summer, but recognise it could be an expensive deal, Duncan Castles has revealed.

The Lilywhites were dealt a major blow after Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo informed them that he had no attention to sign for the club amid his preference for Manchester United.

It means Tottenham have been forced to consider alternative targets and Semenyo is believed to rank highly on their shortlist.As per Castles, via the Transfers Podcast, Tottenham’s interest in Semenyo is genuine, but Bournemouth are holding out for offers closer to the £70 million mark if they are to be convinced to part ways with their winger.Bournemouth have already seen two key players in Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez depart for greener pastures this summer. The former switched to Real Madrid and the latter signed for Liverpool – both earned a total of £90 million in transfer fees for the Cherries.

As such, Bournemouth are in no rush to lose another starter and Tottenham could be forced to play hardball if they are serious about their chances of signing Semenyo.The Ghanaian international netted a career-best 13 goals last term in all competitions, serving up a further six assists in the process. New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank could certainly benefit from having a player of Semenyo’s quality and versatility in his forward options, but it may not come without significant investment.
