Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has addressed the ongoing transfer speculation following his impressive start to the Premier League season.
The Ghana international has netted six goals and provided three assists in nine league appearances, putting him among the country’s most in-form attackers. Only Erling Haaland has scored more, so it’s little wonder that outlets like iNews and Football Insider have linked the 25-year-old with Liverpool.
Recently, journalist Indy Kaila claimed that Liverpool are preparing to submit a bid for Semenyo. Speaking to Sky Sports, the forward emphasized that he was happy to remain at Bournemouth this summer, even as the club sold some key players.
Semenyo appears unfazed by the transfer talk, focusing instead on staying in the moment. “I don’t think about it too much. I try to stay present as much as I can. You see the news all the time—I see it as well—but I try to keep focused,” he said.
“I’m enjoying my football here. If I’m not scoring goals, nothing else matters. I focus on helping the team and scoring, and whatever happens in the future, happens.”
Reflecting on the summer, he added: “When some players left, there was a lot of back and forth with the club. But I knew the manager had a plan for this season. We finished last season strong, and with the players we’ve brought in, we could keep that momentum going. I wasn’t sure at first, but we’ve started the season on fire. I’m glad I stayed because I’m enjoying every moment.”
Liverpool, meanwhile, are enduring a rough patch, losing six of their last seven games. With Mohamed Salah struggling to recapture his best form, a player like Semenyo could be the spark they need. His quality suggests he could thrive at an elite club, and if Liverpool don’t act soon, one of their rivals likely will.
