Probably goes to City or Liverpool & tears it up. Even if he went to United think he’d do well - particularly after the output & performances they’ve got with Cunha & Mbuemo, PL proven players giving them much more than most expected, ok goals maybe lacking from Cunha but I think you see the all round ability is there. Mbuemo has really impressed me his physicality, dynamism & work rate. 

To be fair to United, they did well to go after PL experienced talent.  

If they were able to add a solid mid to help out Casemiro, they'd be in the battle for top 4.

I know we don’t need wingers but would be devastated if we aren’t in the running for Semenyo. Looks really exciting. Suppose 25 years old probably makes him too old anyway but would’ve been a better signing than both Gittens & Garnacho. Oh well.

 

You say that now that he is 25 years old and had many tries to improve. 

It's like giving the same context Gittens and Garnacho come good at 25 after many tries in the PL.....

But you don't want to be patient with the younger guys that can have potential like Semenyo? 

I'm sure if you bought Semenyo at 21 and he was not showing nothing you would have said not a good signing. 

The point is that with these younger players sometimes you need to give them a season or two and then we can assess further. 

The only youth that has come doing above others is Estevao and that is the exception not the norm.

 Another 16 years old  instead of someone like Bastoni who would take you to the race of the title and some top GK. Development FC .

🗣 Noni Madueke: "When I’ve been in the stadium, I haven’t felt that close to fans, to be honest.

I always love playing at the Emirates, I’m always looking forward to the next game where I’m back at the Emirates."

Liverpool made a late move to try and sign Independiente del Valle centre-back Deinner Ordonez, but by the time the Reds made an approach, Chelsea had already sealed a deal for the 16-year-old. 😀

Chelsea could save £52m if they hold off on signing France centre-back Dayot Upamecano until next summer when he is a free agent - but risk missing out on the 26-year-old should Bayern Munich sell in January, with Liverpool among the clubs interested. (Football.London)

Antoine Semenyo decides next move amid Liverpool, Man United & Man City interest

Bournemouth star has made his preference known..

https://thedailybriefing.io/p/antoine-semenyo-decides-next-move

Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo has informed the Cherries hierarchy that Liverpool is his preferred destination if a transfer materialises in the upcoming January window, according to Indy Kaila News on X.

The 25-year-old winger, who has been one of Bournemouth’s best performers over the past year, is attracting significant attention from Premier League giants, but it appears he has already made his choice.

Semenyo has been “vocal” and transparent with Bournemouth’s management about his ambitions. While he remains committed to performing for the club, he believes a move to Anfield would take his career to the next level.

Antoine Semenyo is adamant on Liverpool move

Internally, Semenyo is said to view Liverpool not only as a step up but as a club where he could compete for major honours immediately.

Those around the Ghana international say he genuinely believes he can make an instant impact under Arne Slot and that joining Liverpool gives him a real shot at achieving his biggest dream: Winning the Champions League.

The winger has reportedly told team-mates and staff that he sees Liverpool as a club “built for trophies,” and the opportunity to join a side competing at the very top of European football is a key driving force in his decision.

The Bournemouth attacker has scored six Premier League goals this season for Andoni Iraola’s side.

Whether Liverpool see Semenyo as a long term Mohamed Salah replacement or someone who can fill the void left after the departure of Luis Diaz, remains to be seen.

While Bournemouth are reluctant to lose one of their most influential players mid-season, they will not stand in his way if an acceptable offer arrives but they are expected to demand a significant fee.

Liverpool face Premier League competition

The club are aware that interest will only grow, with Manchester United and Manchester City having also monitored the Ghanaian’s progress. However, insiders insist that Liverpool’s advantage is clear: the player only wants Anfield.

Everything now rests on whether the defending Premier League champions choose to act.

If they do, Semenyo could become one of the surprise signings of the season and potentially fulfil his Champions League dream sooner than expected.

What is intriguing about all this is what Man United and Man City will do if the player decides to move to Anfield in the near future. Are they going to do anything to convince him or change their transfer target?
