Antoine Semenyo is the talk of the Premier League right now after a remarkable start to the season.

Only Erling Haaland can boast more goal involvements (10) than the Ghana international – who has six goals and three assists in just seven Premier League appearances so far.

Manchester United and Tottenham are watching Semenyo as a result of his sensational efforts at Bournemouth, where he scored 13 goals and assisted another seven in 42 games across all competitions.

However, the duo might struggle to sign Antoine Semenyo if Arsenal also come calling.

Antoine Semenyo is an Arsenal fan

Tottenham actually tried to sign Semenyo on transfer deadline day recently, a move which surely did not appeal to the Bournemouth No.24 given his love for Arsenal.

The 25-year-old told The Athletic back in October 2024: “I am an Arsenal fan, I don’t conflict the two with my job. It is great to play against Arsenal, a team I have watched all my life and I want to play for the top clubs as well. In order for that to happen I need to prove it.”

Semenyo has made five appearances against Arsenal throughout his career – winning two games and losing three as he provided one assist.

Arsenal made an approach for Antoine Semenyo but took too long

The man born in Chelsea signed a new contract at Bournemouth back in July to commit himself to the Cherries until 2030.

However, it occurred partly as a result of the Gunners taking too much time to advance their interest.

TBR Football understand Arsenal made an approach for Semenyo to explore what it would take to sign the Ghana international – as did Chelsea – but the lack of further contact led the forward to stay at Bournemouth.

Arsenal then spent £68m to sign Eberechi Eze from Arsenal instead, also adding £52m man Noni Madueke to the attack along with the £64m Viktor Gyokeres.

Now, we understand it would take a bid of at least £75m to lure Semenyo away from the Vitality Stadium, where he is quickly blossoming into one of the best players in Europe.
