Tottenham Hotspur stalwart Son Heung-min could be on his way out of the club this summer after ten years and needs a replacement.
Timo Werner has also returned to Germany after his time at the North London outfit. Meanwhile, the future of Mathys Tel is uncertain after an average loan spell.
Spurs need to add a left-winger to the roster the summer. Wilson Odobert has shown glimpses of his potential, but he is not ready to take the mantle from Son.
Tottenham need an effective left-winger to take the reins while Odobert learns the ropes and develops.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham have stepped up their pursuit of AFC Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo.
He has been stellar for the Cherries this term, bagging 13 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances.
Manchester United are also interested in his services after a remarkable campaign for the 25-year-old ace.
Only a handful of players completed more progressive carries in the Premier League. Only four had more of these carries end up as goals.
The Ghanaian is a specialist at fast breaks, which will entice incoming manager Thomas Frank. He netted 11 league goals and created 11 big chances. He would be an excellent successor to Son.
Interestingly, Frank highlighted Semenyo as Bournemouth’s biggest threat before they faced off in November and hailed him as a fantastic player.
Semenyo vs Grealish: There is a clear winner – View
Earlier today, there were reports of genuine interest in Jack Grealish of Manchester City. However, Tottenham should be going all in for Semenyo instead.
Semenyo had a better 2024/25 campaign, outperforming Grealish across important winger metrics, including progressive carrying, shot-creating actions, and non-penalty expected goals.
Also, Semenyo works hard defensively, a quality Son received a lot of praise for over his decade at the club.
The Bournemouth man is the perfect successor to the legendary South Korean, and the club should focus its efforts on him.
