Tottenham Hotspur Identify This Bournemouth Attacker As A Target: What Will He Bring To North London? | OneFootball

In a recent edition of Transfers From Paradise, journalist Dean Jones claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have identified Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo as a target. Jones said,

“One man who could be joining him in the Saudi Pro League is Son Heung-min.

“He looks set to leave Spurs, which is no major surprise as that has been mooted for a while. One thing Spurs lose if he goes is experience that could be key for a Champions League campaign.

“At the moment, the club are pressing ahead with negotiations on a fee to take Mathys Tel on a permanent deal, but I am also starting to hear whispers that Antoine Semenyo is one of the players they could look to sign.”

Semenyo’s Decent Run Of Form In The Premier League

Semenyo had an impressive season at the Vitality Stadium as he put in a string of eye-catching performances for the Cherries in the final third. The 25-year-old scored 13 goals and picked up seven assists in 42 matches for Bournemouth last season in multiple competitions.

The Ghanaian talent gave a good account of himself on the left flank based on his average of 3.51 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. However, he only kept 32% of his attempts on target. Semenyo also needs to improve his ball distribution after making 73.4% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via fbref.com).

What Will Semenyo Bring To Tottenham Hotspur?

Semenyo has got the pace to cause a lot of problems for his marker out in the wide areas. He can strike the ball with venom from long range and has got the vision to engineer a few good chances for his teammates to find the back of the net.

The Ghana international is primarily a left-winger but can also operate as a right-sided wide player if told to do so. He already knows the Premier League well and won’t take much time to settle into life in North London.

Semenyo would bring more pace and goals to Tottenham‘s frontline. He is good enough to serve as a decent replacement for Heung-min Son, who struggled to find consistency with his performances for Spurs last season.

At 25, the best is yet to come from Semenyo, so the North London giants would do well to lure him away from Bournemouth this summer.
