Newcastle United are keen on Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo.
according to Football Insidersigning a right-back is one of their main priorities and they consider it a problematic position. They have identified the 24-year-old as a solution to their problems and it remains to be seen if they can get the deal done.
Semenyo has done quite well for Bournemouth this season and could prove to be a quality addition to Newcastle’s attack. He could complete his front three for the foreseeable future. Newcastle have been too reliant on Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak for goals and creativity. The 24-year-old’s arrival will help share the goal and creative burden.
Antoine Semenyo would improve Newcastle
Semenyo has started the season well for the Cherries and is versatile enough to operate anywhere in the front three. He should prove to be a quality long-term signing for Newcastle if they get the deal done. The player has also been linked with other English clubsand it will be interesting to see where it ends.
He will want to compete at the highest level and join a club capable of pushing for trophies. Newcastle are one of the richest clubs in the world and they have the resources to buy top players. Without a doubt, Semenyo will want to be part of his project and it will be necessary to see how the situation evolves.
The 24-year-old is still quite young and will only improve with training and experience. He could develop further and establish himself as a key player for the Magpies with the right guidance.
Newcastle certainly have the finances to pull off the deal, and it remains to be seen if they decide to make an official bid to sign the player when the transfer window reopens in January.
