Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly monitoring the 25-year-old’s situation at Bournemouth and he is expected to be the subject of a transfer tug-of-war next summer.
Semenyo was linked with a departure before the start of the 2025-26 campaign, however he ultimately opted to sign a new five-year contract with Andoni Iraola’s side in early July.
Rumours of an exit are set to increase ahead of the upcoming January transfer window, despite a reported €115 million price tag, however Semenyo has insisted that he remains fully focused on performing for Bournemouth.
Antoine Semenyo responds to transfer speculation
“I don't think about it too much,” Semenyo told Sky Sports when asked about interest from across the Premier League. “I try to stay present as much as I can. You see the news all the time, I see it as well, I'm not oblivious, but I try to keep focused.
“I'm enjoying my football here. If I'm not scoring goals, all of that goes away. I try to stay present, do the best I can for the team, score goals and whatever happens in the future happens.
Semenyo added: “When they [Ilya Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Dango Ouattara] all left [in the summer], there was a lot of interest and back and forth with the club.
“But I knew in my head that the manager's got something up his sleeve this year. How we finished off the season last year was so good and we could continue, especially with the players we've bought in as well.
“I wasn't too sure at the start but we've kicked on like a house on fire. I'm glad I committed to staying here because I'm enjoying every moment.”
Arsenal have identified Semenyo as a possible signing amid their pursuit of a new left winger in 2026, while Liverpool have shortlisted him as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who continues to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Chelsea, Man Utd and Tottenham have also identified the 25-year-old as a key attacking target in their search for additional reinforcements.
