Liverpool are reportedly preparing an offer to sign Bournemouth’s in-form attacker Antoine Semenyo.
After an active summer in which the Reds secured marquee signings such as Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, the club seemingly plans to continue investing in top talent. Journalist Indy Kaila reports that Liverpool intend to pursue more high-profile names over the next two transfer windows.
Semenyo is among the players on their radar, per Kaila’s update on X, and it’s no surprise that the Ghanaian forward is drawing interest from bigger clubs considering his impressive Premier League performances.
Possible upgrade on Mohamed Salah?
Earlier in the year, competition for spots in Arne Slot’s front line might have made it difficult to see where Semenyo would fit. However, Liverpool’s poor start to the campaign — along with Mohamed Salah’s noticeable dip in form — has opened the door for changes.
Salah, who was unstoppable for much of last season, has struggled to find consistency and currently has just three goals and two assists in the league. Semenyo, by comparison, has produced six goals and three assists in the same number of matches:
Player Games Goals Assists
Mohamed Salah 9 3 2
Antoine Semenyo 9 6 3
Given those numbers, Semenyo could represent not only a long-term successor to Salah, but possibly an immediate upgrade.
With Liverpool losing six of their last seven matches in all competitions, something needs to change — and Semenyo could provide the attacking spark they’re lacking.
