Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly preparing for Heung-min Son’s potential departure this summer and the North London club have allegedly identified one Premier League forward as the ‘ideal’ option to replace him.
As the Spurs captain nears the final year of his contract, there is understandably a lot of uncertainty over his future at the club.
Various outlets over recent months have suggested that Tottenham could cash in on Son this summer, especially after the forward has failed to live up to his own high standards this season.
It has been revealed by some sources over recent weeks that Spurs have earmarked a Bournemouth attacker as their top summer target, and a big claim has now been made about Tottenham’s interest in the player.
Tottenham want Antoine Semenyo to replace Heung-min Son
Fichajes have now become the latest outlet to back Tottenham’s interest in Antoine Semenyo, explaining that the Lilywhites have identified the Cherries winger as someone who can fill Son’s shoes this summer should the South Korean depart.
It is revealed that the Ghana international’s name is very high on Tottenham’s list of potential attacking reinforcements, with his versatility making him an ‘ideal’ fit for Postecoglou’s side.
Additionally, Tottenham’s decision-makers are convinced that the Bournemouth man still has enormous potential to grow over the coming years and see him as a good ‘long-term bet’ to take Son’s place in the squad.

Finally, the outlet also adds that Semenyo would be a more ‘economically viable’ option compared to the other attackers on the market.
How much would Antonie Semenyo cost?
While the report from Fichajes does not say how much Spurs would have to pay for the Cherries winger, we did get an update on the winger’s value just a few days ago.
It was claimed by Inews recently that Tottenham would have to pay £70m to prise Semenyo away from Bournemouth, which means that the North Londoners would have to break their transfer record on the 25-year-old.
