Two reasons Tottenham will be hoping Man City win the race for Antoine Semenyo

Manchester City winning the race for Antoine Semenyo could aid Tottenham Hotspur in the pursuit of two of their targets.

Spurs Web has relayed several reports over the last few days suggesting that Tottenham are now unlikely to land Semenyo in January.

Liverpool and Man City have now moved ahead of Spurs in the race for the Bournemouth star, who is expected to make a decision on whether to move to the Etihad Stadium or Anfield.

It turns out that if the Ghana international does end up joining Pep Guardiola’s side, that could end up benefiting Spurs.

Tottenham’s move for attacking duo could depend on Antoine Semenyo deal

Some sources have suggested that Spurs could reignite their interest in Savinho if they miss out on Semenyo in January.

Over recent days, some sources have also claimed that Tottenham are increasingly tempted to make a move for Omar Marmoush, who has found game time hard to come by at Manchester this term.

Journalist Dean Jones has now taken to social media to reveal that City are likely to cash in on one of their attacking players, potentially Savinho or Marmoush, if they win the race for the Cherries star.

Jones wrote on X: “Man City will allow for an attacking departure if they win the race for Semenyo. Savinho? Bobb? Marmoush?”

Spurs have identified two other alternatives for Semenyo

It has been claimed that Tottenham are also big fans of RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, who is emerging as one of the best young attackers in the Bundesliga.

However, Spurs would have to break the bank for Diomande, who is also on the radar of many of the biggest clubs in Europe.

Some reports have also suggested that Tottenham could push ahead with an offer for Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, who is thought to be valued at around £40m.
