Liverpool watching Semenyo situation with interest

GHANA FORWARD NEXT IN THE CHERRIES' EXODUS AND REDS IN THE CONVERSATION

HAVING started the season in blistering fashion, it’s no surprise to see Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo linked with clubs further up the Premier League's perceived pecking order.

The Ghana forward has only been outscored by Manchester City’s Erling Haaland so far and his displays for the Cherries have since seen Liverpool credited with an interest alongside Tottenham Hotspur.

City are also said to be monitoring the attacker and at the age of 25 years old, Semenyo is likely to be the next high-profile departure from the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth continue operating with the model that has made them one of the best run clubs in the top flight in recent years.

Last summer's exodus saw their outgoing players leave with the best wishes of all on the south coast likely ringing in their ears as the likes of Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi joined Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively.

To ship players off to the champions of England and Europe, in Liverpool and PSG, and the global behemoth that is Real Madrid is ample evidence they are getting it very right at the Vitality. Those three deals in particular raised close to £150million, while Dango Ouattara was sold to Brentford for around £40m.
