According to Football Insider, Newcastle United are interested in signing Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo in the summer transfer window. However, the signing will somewhere whether they have a Champions League berth or not.
Who is Antoine Semenyo?
Antoine Semenyo traded his ply in multiple clubs before joining Bournemouth in the summer of 2023. In a short time, he managed to win the faith of the manager and earn a starting position. He continues to do well for the side and prove himself out there on the field.
Semenyo has managed to get nine goals and five assists in 27 this season so far. He is averaging 3.4 shots, 1.1 key passes, and 2.1 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Ghana international is both footed, allowing the manager to use him on either flank. He likes to take on the defenders and make good runs. He has good dribbling and finishing skills apart from his aerial presence around the penalty box.
Antoine Semenyo want a club with Champions League place
Newcastle United continue to build a long-term winning sporting project. They are looking to strengthen their offensive line to compete for the titles in a better way. Hence, they have scouted Antoine Semenyo as a potential target for the summer.
Semenyo recently signed a new contract at Bournemouth, which means the Magpies will have to offer a lucrative deal to get the player’s signature. Only a good offer won’t be enough as they need to earn a Champions League berth for next season too.
As multiple clubs are tracking the 25-year-old, not playing in the Champions League can hurt Newcastle United chances. Moreover, players like Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes are waiting to evaluate whether they will be able to play in the European competition or not. If not, these two can leave the club in the summer for better opportunities.
