Black Stars forward, Antoine Semenyo
Premier League side, Chelsea have made an initial enquiry about signing Ghana international Antoine Semenyo in January.
According to a report by The Athletic, Chelsea had planned to sign a new forward in the summer but have contacted Semenyo’s camp about the conditions of a deal, with a view to potentially accelerating their plans to January.
They are one of a number of clubs interested in the Bournemouth forward, whose contract with the club runs until 2030, and contains a £65million release clause in January.
Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are all said to be interested in the 25-year-old.
Semenyo has enjoyed a strong 2025-26 campaign, providing eight goals and three assists in 16 Premier League appearances.
The former Bristol City forward was valued at £70m by Bournemouth in the summer, but the sale price for the winter is now formally set at £65m.
It must be activated by a specific date, which would give Bournemouth a couple of weeks to replace their best player, and is available to any team.
