Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian International has done quite well for the Cherries this season and his performances have attracted the attention of Tottenham Hotspur. It will be interesting to see if the North London club come forward with an offer to sign him at the end of the season. They could use a versatile attacker like Semenyo, who is capable of operating across the front three.
Meanwhile, former Ghana international Matthew Amoah has revealed that joining Spurs would be a demotion for the 25-year-old Premier League attacker, and he should wait for a much bigger club.
Bournemouth have done better than Tottenham this season and Amoah feels that a move to the North London club would be a step down for Semenyo. It remains to be seen what he decides.
“With all due respect to Tottenham, if this is the only offer that comes to Semenyo this summer, then he should stay at Bournemouth,” he said to Africa Foot.
“Bournemouth are currently a better team on the pitch than Tottenham and seem more stable with a very good coach in Andoni Iraola. So, joining a club that is far behind would be a demotion that makes no footballing sense.
“He’s doing his job very well at a club that also appreciates his work and efforts, with fans singing his name day in and day out. Unless a much bigger club comes along, he should stay at Vitality.”
“Also, the €40m that is being talked about is below his value in the current market, given his contract, age and ability.”
Tottenham have an exciting project and the talented squad. Even though they have underperformed this season, they have what it takes to fight for trophies in the coming season.
Semenyo would be a quality acquisition for the North London club and he will add some much-needed cutting edge in the final third. Spurs would do well to sign a proven performer like him, and he could make an instant impact at the North London club.
