Price could be right for January move for Semenyo

ECHO WRITERS ON WHETHER REDS SHOULD MAKE

- 

LIVERPOOL may have spent more than £300million revamping their forward line over the summer. But if reports are to be believed, they could yet be in the market for another attacking addition.

The Reds are one of the clubs credited with interest in inform Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. The 25-year-old is enjoying an electrifying season.

He is the joint-third top scorer in the Premier League after netting six goals in 11 games including two on the opening night of the season at Anfield when Liverpool scored twice late on to win 4-2. Only three players have more than the Ghana international’s return of three assists, too.

But what makes Semenyo an even more attractive proposition is his price tag.

The Athletic reported this week that he could be signed for a bargain £65million during the January transfer window due to a release clause inserted into the new contract he signed in July.

Capable of playing on both the left and right wings, Semenyo is sure to be in demand in the new year.

But should the Reds, after the arrival of the £125m Alexander Isak, the £116m Florian Wirtz and the £79m Hugo Ekitike, join the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the battle for his signature?

Our writers have their say...

Can you have too much of a good thing? On the face of it Liverpool shouldn't turn down the opportunity to sign one of the best players in the Premier League in January, but a couple of things would have to fit into place for it to be a wise move.
