Newcastle United have joined Chelsea in the race to sign 25 year old winger. The player already plays in Premier League and has been in superb form this season.
The star in question here is Antoine Semenyo who plays for AFC Bournemouth. He is 25 years old and has been playing foe Cherries since 2022. Semenyo mainly plays as right winger but is equally effective as left winger. In addition, he can also play as striker if required.
Semenyo has been in superb form this season. Infact, this has already turned out as the best season of his career. He has scored 9 goals and picked 5 assists in 27 games. His performances have not gone unnoticed as he is being looked upon by multiple top clubs.
Earlier, there were reports that Chelsea are keen to sign Semenyo in summer. In addition, the reports stated that the Blues may be open to spend as high as £40 million for him. Chelsea are surely going to sign a winger this summer.
The Blues want a winger who can play on both sides as well as in the middle. They want him to be young and hence Semenyo can be a good fit. The Cherries may demand more than £40 million but their first priority will be to keep hold of Semenyo for little longer.
Bournemouth are on 5th position in Premier League and are competing for UCL spot. They will want to keep their best players to compete in Europe next season. However, they may still be forced to sell Semenyo if the player himself forces an exit.
