Tottenham Hotspur will hope to end their poor run of form when they face high-flying Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.
The Lilywhites have won just two of their last six matches across all competitions, most recently being beaten 1-0 by Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie on Thursday.
That run of form means Spurs sit 13th in the Premier League table, and are on course to miss out on qualification for European football next term.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, occupy seventh place in the top flight standings and are in contention to feature in next season’s Champions League.
Tottenham’s Transfer Interest in Bournemouth Star
Sunday’s match could also give Tottenham an opportunity to see one of their transfer targets in action up close. According to CaughtOffside, the North London side are plotting an offer for Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo.
The report claims that Spurs are planning an initial offer of around £33 million for the Ghana international, who has been in exceptional form for the Cherries this season. Semenyo has caught the attention of Tottenham’s recruitment team with his pace, finishing ability, and versatility across the forward line.
Since joining Bournemouth from Championship side Bristol City in 2023, Semenyo has:
- Made 77 appearances for the south coast club
- Scored 18 goals in all competitions
- Contributed 9 goals and 5 assists in just 30 games this season
Premier League Competition for Semenyo’s Signature
Tottenham’s interest in the 25-year-old Ghanaian winger comes as part of a planned overhaul of Ange Postecoglou’s attacking options during the summer transfer window. However, securing Semenyo’s signature won’t be straightforward for Spurs, as several top clubs are monitoring his situation:
| Interested Clubs | League |
|---|---|
| Chelsea | Premier League |
| Newcastle United | Premier League |
| Arsenal | Premier League |
| Manchester United | Premier League |
| Napoli | Serie A |
Bournemouth are in a strong position regarding any potential transfer, as Semenyo is under contract with the club until the end of the 2028/29 campaign. This long-term deal puts the Cherries under very little pressure to sell their star attacker in the immediate future.
The winger’s performances have been a key factor in Bournemouth’s surprising push for European qualification this season. His direct running, clinical finishing, and improved decision-making in the final third have transformed him into one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking talents.
For Tottenham, Sunday’s fixture presents not only an opportunity to revive their faltering season but also a chance to scout a potential summer signing who could help address their inconsistent attacking output.
