Bournemouth winger has release clause in January
Liverpool and Manchester City also interested
Chelsea have made an inquiry about signing Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. The winger’s deal contains a £65m release clause in January and he is also a target for Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Chelsea were not regarded as a likely destination for Semenyo but have contacted the player’s camp to explore the conditions of a deal. There is optimism at Stamford Bridge that the Ghana international will be interested in joining. Chelsea hope Semenyo, who is from London, will appreciate their long-term project and see an opportunity to make an immediate impact at a top club.
The view at Chelsea is that the 25-year-old would give their squad a different dimension. Semenyo would offer an added aerial threat and enviable pace and power. He has scored eight goals and provided three assists in the Premier League this season.
