It has been said that Tottenham is prepared to part with a large sum of money in 2025 in order to sign another prominent Bournemouth star.
Dominic Solanke became Tottenham’s record acquisition during the summer after the team agreed to a deal worth £65 million (£55 million + an additional £10 million). After a sluggish start in north London, the former Cherries striker has scored in each of his past three games, all of which Spurs have won.
Ange Postecoglou’s team is prepared to invade Bournemouth once more in search of winger Antoine Semenyo, according to Spanish publication Fichajes.
According to the source, Tottenham is the team expressing the greatest interest in the right-footed forward out of all the potential suitors.
The 24-year-old is reportedly the “ideal option” for Spurs to improve their attacking lineup in 2025. Semenyo’s signing “is shaping up to be one of the most important of the next transfer window,” according to the newspaper.
Semenyo scored eight goals for Bournemouth in the previous season, his first full Premier League season. With three goals and one assist in his first six games this season, he’s elevated his game to new heights.
Because of this, Semenyo is supposedly valued at roughly £33 million, a figure that Tottenham “would be willing to pay,” according to the article.

Does Tottenham require a second winger?
Tottenham already has a plethora of choices available to them, and the Spanish publication in question isn’t regarded as one of the more trustworthy ones when it comes to transfer rumors.
Nevertheless, if you’re looking at Tottenham’s attacking depth, it might make sense to make a wide transfer.
Timo Werner is just a member of the team on a loan with an £8.5 million buyout option. The German’s deficiencies in front of goal were exposed on Sunday as he blew two one-on-one opportunities against Manchester United.
Under Postecoglou, Dejan Kulusevski has mostly been deployed in a midfield role this season, with captain Son Heung-min now thirty-two years old.
The legendary Spurs player’s contract expires in the summer, but he has an option to play one more season. TEAMtalk is aware that Spurs intend to exercise the option, but the team needs to carefully assess how long Son, who is getting closer to his mid-thirties, will continue to be a top-tier winger.
Therefore, it would make sense to add a dynamic new winger like Semenyo. Postecoglou’s other alternatives on the flanks are Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson, who has four goals in his last four games.
Gyokeres to challenge Solanke with Eze on the move?
In other developments, Eberechi Eze’s camp is said to have given Liverpool the go-ahead to finalize negotiations for the Crystal Palace charm.
Eze was a summer transfer target for Spurs, and as recently as mid-September, Football Transfers claimed that Tottenham and the England star had a “gentleman’s agreement.”
In other news, Tottenham has reportedly broken their transfer record to get Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres.
Over the past 14 months, the Swede has been in incredible form, scoring 54 goals in 59 games for Sporting since the 2023–24 season began.
Gyokeres’ transfer would be extremely surprising considering Spurs had just made record-breaking acquisition of striker Dominic Solanke.
