However, he remains unconvinced that the Ghanaian would seamlessly fit into the Anfield setup.

"Antoine Semenyo is a talented player and has done very well this season; he’d certainly be a name to get Liverpool fans excited.
"Having said that, it can be hard to tell if players will fit into a team like Liverpool on the back of what they have done with other clubs in the Premier League.
"Because of that, there is no guarantee that he would be a success," he said via Metro.

A chance to prove his worth against Liverpool

Interestingly, Semenyo will have the perfect stage to showcase his ability when Bournemouth host Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, February 1.

The Cherries head into this fixture on the back of an impressive 12-game unbeaten run, and the Ghanaian forward has been a key figure in that resurgence.

With a goal contribution in each of his last four league appearances, Semenyo will be eager to make a statement against the Premier League leaders.
