According to a source, Chelsea wants to make a huge bid of €90 million (£78 million) to Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo. TEAMtalk is assessing the potential effects of this move on Enzo Maresca’s current winger crop.
Last season, Semenyo elevated his performance to a new level, finishing with 13 goals and seven assists in 42 games across all competitions. Early in the current season, the winger has been playing even better, exuding confidence when finishing and taking on opponents.
Semenyo is on track to surpass his 2024–25 record after already recording six goals and three assists in eight games this season. Semenyo has six league goals, which is more than anyone else save Erling Haaland.
When Bournemouth equalised against Fulham on Friday, the Ghanaian international was at his peak, slicing past Timothy Castagne and scoring from a sharp angle. Following a brilliant goal from Justin Kluivert to put Bournemouth ahead, Ben Doak caught Fulham off guard and set up Semenyo, who finished with a calm left-footed effort to seal the victory.
Chelsea are very interested in signing Ghanaian star
Following Antoine Semenyo’s explosive start to the Premier League season at Bournemouth, reports in Spain indicate Chelsea is considering a bid of over £78 million for the player.
Despite his return of six goals and three assists in his first seven top-flight appearances, the Ghanaian international has publicly acknowledged that he separates his Arsenal fandom from his work, so moving to Stamford Bridge appeals to him. The Cherries may find it difficult to resist the financial capital on offer.
Semenyo, who has been dubbed a special player by Owen Hargreaves, has produced ten opportunities in the Premier League, according to Fotmob. He excels on either wing or when he comes inside to give his teammates attention.
In order to add experience to their youthful frontline, Chelsea is looking for another attacker. They probably won’t be the only team, though, eager to present the 25-year-old with a fresh challenge. If Semenyo were to sign with West London, he might make the difference as the Blues compete for Champions League spots.
