Arsenal are closely monitoring Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, who has emerged as the Premier League’s most in-form attacker. A January transfer worth £100 million could be on the cards as both the Gunners and Liverpool weigh up bids.
Arsenal Plotting January Reinforcements as Title Charge Intensifies
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side are flying high at the top of the Premier League after seven matches, boasting five wins and a draw. With 14 goals already this season — second only to Manchester City — the Gunners have shown attacking depth, but insiders suggest the North London club is still looking to sharpen their frontline.
That search may lead them to one of the league’s current standout performers: Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. The Ghana international is reportedly available for £100 million this January, and Arsenal have already been “informed” of the possibility of a deal.
Semenyo’s Red-Hot Form Turning Heads
Semenyo has taken the Premier League by storm this season, registering six goals and three assists in a blistering start. His last two appearances have been particularly eye-catching, contributing three goals and one assist, including a match-winning brace and assist in Bournemouth’s 3-1 win over Fulham.
The 23-year-old’s electric form has led to growing speculation about a big-money move, with both Arsenal and Liverpool named among the clubs showing interest.
Gunners Looking to Upgrade Left Flank Options
Despite their strong start, Arsenal are exploring upgrades to their left-wing options. Gabriel Martinelli, who was linked with a potential move away in the summer, has contributed four goal involvements across all competitions but hasn’t fully cemented his place this season.
Semenyo’s dynamic playing style and productivity have prompted some Arsenal supporters to suggest he could be the perfect fit on the left. With his ability to cut inside, press aggressively, and create chances, he fits the mold of a classic Arteta attacker.
Liverpool Also Informed Through Bournemouth Connection
While Arsenal are doing their due diligence, Liverpool are also in the mix. Reports suggest the Reds have been contacted regarding Semenyo through sporting director Richard Hughes, who previously served as Bournemouth’s technical director for nearly a decade.
The Merseyside club already boast attacking firepower in the form of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak, making Semenyo’s path to regular minutes more complicated at Anfield.
At Arsenal, however, a starting spot seems more attainable — especially with Martinelli’s form under scrutiny.
£100M Price Tag Set, but Who Will Make the First Move?
Bournemouth have made it clear: £100 million is the asking price, and any club willing to meet that valuation will be seriously considered. Whether it’s Arsenal or Liverpool who decide to trigger the move, Semenyo will face the tough choice between two of the Premier League’s top clubs.
For the forward, it’s an opportunity to make the leap to elite-level football. With January fast approaching, the tug-of-war for one of the league’s standout stars could heat up rapidly.
