Bournemouth signing a winger... Could Antoine Semenyo be an option for Arsenal given his £50m value? Goal scoring, Premier League proven pedigree and excellent ball striking with both feet. There's a lot to like.

@afcaarush added:

Antoine Semenyo is an ambidextrous winger whose athleticism + dribbling prowess elevate the team’s attack. Thrives on his directness + raw pace with added physicality which makes him go unnoticed as a creator + scorer

What a season Bournemouth and Antoine Semenyo are having. As you can imagine, there is a lot of interest around him, but I can bet # AFCB would want a heck of a lot of money to even consider letting him go anytime soon. Cherries are flying, how high can they go?

• Won the penalty for the equalizer • Stunning strike to take the lead. Antoine Semenyo is having a hell of a season.

Unpopular opinion but Antoine Semenyo would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool

@simplyafcb posted:

I would also like to add, Antoine Semenyo is an OUTRAGEOUS footballer. £10 million is a bargain. Dribbling, shooting, finishing, passing across goal, he’s got it. Starting to become a very consistent player now as well. Very impressed, excellent second half.

@Mr_Gidiglo added:

Antoine Semenyo is better than Vinicius Jr

@afcjxmes added:

Antoine Semenyo is the sort of Sadio Mané type signing that could explode at a big club. We should be all over him.
