Glen Johnson says attacker is ready for ‘higher level’ amid Tottenham links
Tottenham Hotspur are one of many clubs thought to be tracking one of the Premier League’s most in-form players, and Glen Johnson has tipped him to go to the top.
Spurs want Semenyo
It may only be October, but clubs are starting to gear up for the January transfer window and line up their targets for improving their squads.
One player heavily linked with Tottenham so far is Antoine Semenyo, the Bournemouth attacker who already has three goals and one assist for the Cherries this season.
It has been suggested Spurs will make a move for the Ghanaian winger in 2025, but they will face competition from the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle United (GiveMeSport).
According to a report from Fichajes, Semenyo is one of Tottenham’s top transfer targets, and it is thought he would cost around £33m to sign in January.
Apparently, Bournemouth are hoping to resist any approaches in the coming transfer window (TBRFootball), but it remains to be seen whether Ange Postecoglou and co. can test that resolve with a firm offer.
Johnson thinks Semenyo is ready
Either way, Glen Johnson believes the 24-year-old is a rare talent, and deserves to be playing for one of the top clubs in the Premier League.
Speaking to BetFred, Johnson said: “Players with that amount of flair and confidence don’t come around often. He’s got a few goals and assists already this season for Bournemouth, so absolutely he can play at a higher level.
“Players raise their game a level when they’re playing with better players, so it wouldn’t surprise me if one of the big clubs snaps him up soon.”
Semenyo would be a good fit for Spurs
I can’t see Spurs, or any other club, prising Semenyo away in January, but next summer, he will very likely move on. If Spurs can sign him, it would be a great acquisition. He’s a player who offers everything Postecoglou wants: versatility, athleticism, dynamism, an attacking mindset, and creativity.
