Can the best crack in the Premier League (EPL) transfer to Tottenham this summer.
Although Bournemouth have a strong will to keep Antoine Semeno until the end of this season, it has been predicted that it may be difficult to prevent him from leaving the transfer market in January at the earliest. Semeno, who already received attention from several big clubs such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur last summer, agreed to renew his contract with the club in July and chose to stay, but he continues to play relentlessly this season and is once again at the center of the transfer market.
England's The Athletic said on the 18th (Korea time) 'Bonnemouth wants to keep him until the end of this season, but reluctantly accepts that it could be difficult to prevent Semeno from leaving the team as early as January. Semeno reported last summer that he had received interest from several clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham, but signed a new contract with his contract extended until July and is having an impressive season so far.
The Athletic revealed last summer that Semeno added a relatively cheap buyout clause when he re-signed with Bournemouth. The media said 'Bonemouth agreed to insert a buyout clause into the new contract. During the last transfer market, the amount needed to recruit Semeno was reported to be about 70 million pounds (about 134.6 billion won), but the official sale price of this winter's transfer market was set at 65 million pounds (about 125 billion won). 'This amount must be invoked within a certain time limit, in which case Bournemouth will have a few weeks to replace the team's best player, and the provisions apply to any team'
Semeno was one of the first strikers to contact Tottenham last summer in their search for a replacement for Son. After moving to Bournemouth in the 2023-2024 season, he began to draw attention by steadily drawing a growth curve. Although he is less detailed, he can use both feet and is an explosive player in dribbling and speed. It also has the versatility to play all positions in attack.
After his career-best performance with 11 goals and 6 assists in the league last season, he has continued his explosive growth this season with 6 goals and 3 assists in just 11 games. This season, the goal-scoring ability has improved, and the detail has also improved.
Recently, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham have been consistently mentioned as candidates for Semeno's destinations. In particular, Tottenham is known to highly value Semeno's explosive power and versatility at a time when they are looking for a long-term successor to Son Heung-min. Considering the current composition of the squad, analysts say that if he is recruited, Son Heung-min's role of being able to play both sides and center can be naturally inherited.
Given this trend, Bournemouth already appears to be closely exploring alternative candidates across all positions and Plan B for the possibility of Semeno's departure is also considered operational. In this winter's transfer market, the biggest concern is whether Tottenham will carry out a £65 million buyout of Semeno, who was named Son Heung-min's successor.
