Antoine Semenyo Next Club Odds: Liverpool And City Eye Cherries Star
Antoine Semenyo has been the inspiration behind Bournemouth's excellent start to the season, but where will he be playing in the new year?
Liverpool were hot favourites on betting sites to sign Semenyo, who has found the net six times and provided three assists in 13 appearances, the joint-second highest for goal contributions.
Now, after more clubs have shown interest, the Reds have been joined by Manchester City at the head of the market as the January transfer window approaches.
These are just two of the many top teams in the running to sign the Cherries star, who reportedly has a £65million release clause in his contract that can be activated in the first two weeks of January.
He is 2/1 to still be starring at the Vitality Stadium after the transfer window, but it may be time for the club to cash in on their prized possession.
Here, we look at the teams in the running to sign the 25-year-old and the best odds to be found on football betting sites.
Will Reds Invest Again?
Liverpool need to take drastic action if they are to resurrect their hopes of a successful title defence, and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano believes the club are "considering Semenyo for the January transfer window".
Four points from their last two games have settled things slightly for the Reds, who had suffered six defeats in the previous seven Premier League games.
Arne Slot will be hoping his team can build on that victory, but he may also have one eye on the January transfer window.
With Mohamed Salah heading to Morocco this December for the Africa Cup of Nations, Slot will be missing one of his key attacking threats, so bringing in Semenyo would make sense.
Liverpool were 11/8 favourites on betting apps to sign Semenyo in January, but are now 3/1 joint favourites.
City's Price Slashed
Manchester City are also linked with a move for Semenyo, and their odds have been slashed from 16/1 to 3/1, making them joint-favourites alongside Liverpool.
City already boast extraordinary attacking depth, but the speedy forward is the type of player that manager Pep Guardiola could help bring to the next level.
Erling Haaland is in unstoppable form this season, and Semenyo could act as a perfect foil for the big Norwegian.
A move to City would be a tempting option for the Bournemouth man, and it could happen in January.
Spurs Searching For Star Forward
Tottenham remain firmly in the hunt as they continue to reshape their attack under Thomas Frank.
The club have struggled to find a replacement for England captain Harry Kane, with injury-prone striker Dominic Solanke barely featuring this season and Richarlison blowing hot and cold.
Semenyo's blend of pace, strength and defensive work would complement Spurs' style, and moving back to the capital could be very tempting for the young Londoner.
The pressure is growing on Frank after an underwhelming season so far, and a player like Semenyo could make an immediate impact.
Spurs were 9/1 last week, but have shortened significantly to 5/1 with Bet365.

United Linked With Semenyo Swoop
Manchester United splashed the cash in the previous transfer window to boost their firepower and have now been linked with a move for Semenyo in January.
Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko joined the club in the summer, but the Manchester Evening News claims the club are interested in bringing the Bournemouth attacker to Old Trafford.
The regional daily believes the club are prepared to offer Semenyo his preferred No. 24 shirt as a way of luring him to United.
Ruben Amorim's side are not considered one of the favourites at 12/1, but those odds may shorten in the coming weeks if the Red Devils continue to look like Champions League contenders.
Semenyo Fits Blues Profile
Chelsea are never far from the conversation when it comes to transfers, and Semenyo’s name understandably appears on their list as a potential recruit in January.
The club have invested heavily in young forwards, and Semenyo is made from the same mould.
His ability to link play, attack space and contribute defensively fits the profile of players Chelsea have been targeting under Enzo Maresca, but a move would likely depend on outgoings and squad balance.
The Blues remain 14/1 in the market to bring Semenyo to Stamford Bridge.
Gunners Move 'Off The Table'
Arsenal currently sit top of the table, and have looked unstoppable at times, but could Mikel Arteta improve his talented squad even further in the new year?
The Spaniard was thought to be interested in improving his options on the left wing, where he already has the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
However, The Mirror claims Arsenal are unlikely to make any major signings in January and will instead focus on bringing in new talent during the summer transfer window.
The Gunners were 12/1 to sign Semenyo last week, but those odds have since lengthened to 16/1.
Magpies Head Outsiders
The remainder of the field includes Newcastle (20/1), Aston Villa and PSG (both 33/1).
Newcastle’s interest aligns with their recruitment of fast, powerful, young forwards, though FFP constraints may again dictate any potential move.
Villa would also be a good fit, but manager Unai Emery may be prioritising other positions, while European champions PSG are also long shots to make a move for Semenyo.
