Antoine Semenyo's true feelings on Tottenham transfer after being left 'annoyed' by claims

Antoine Semenyo was linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, only to sign a new deal with Bournemouth which should keep him at the Vitality Stadium until 2030

Antoine Semenyo is reportedly 'annoyed' by suggestions that he's keen on leaving Bournemouth.

The forward has enjoyed an excellent campaign this season, scoring six Premier League goals for the Cherries. With only Erling Haaland and Igor Thiago boasting better scoring records than Semenyo this term, speculation surrounding his future on the south coast has intensified.

A host of top clubs are understood to be monitoring his situation, including Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, prompting supporters nationwide to question whether Semenyo will still be at Bournemouth for 2026/27.

However, Sky Sports report that Semenyo is happy at the Vitality Stadium and is 'annoyed' by suggestions he has requested a transfer.

When pressed by Jamie Redknapp about his future earlier this month, the Ghanaian responded: "I don't think about it too much. 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. When they [his former team-mates] 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," reports the Manchester Evening News.

Following a 13-goal haul across all competitions last term, Semenyo was heavily linked with a blockbuster switch to Spurs during the summer transfer window. The move ultimately collapsed, with the Lilywhites instead snapping up Mohammed Kudus in a £55million move.

It appears as though Spurs are settling into life under Thomas Frank, after luring the head coach away from Brentford this summer. The Dane stepped in as Ange Postecoglou's replacement after he was sacked following a lacklustre 17th-place finish in the Premier League last season.

And it's clear that the tactician has already had a major impact at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs currently sit fifth in the Premier League standings after 11 games, with five wins, three draws and three losses to show for their efforts.

They are also unbeaten in the Champions League this term, with wins over Villarreal and Copenhagen, as well as draws with Monaco and Bodo/Glimt. Tottenham are next in action against Arsenal come Sunday, November 23, when the North London Derby lands at The Emirates Stadium.
