Newcastle United have had an overwhelming transfer period this summer.
They target offensive players, but have failed to sign their main targets by hijacking those deals by Premier League rivals.
Magpies were interested in the moves of Joan Pedro, who joined Chelsea, Benjamin Sesco, who joined Manchester United, and Hugo Echicchike who ended up in Liverpool.
They are now chasing Brentford’s Joan Wissa for the uncertain future of Alexander Isaac at St James Park after the attackers have expressed his desire to leave the club for a move to Liverpool.
Another player is currently attracting attention from Newcastle’s recruiting team, who is the player who started the season in the best way possible.
Newcastle United wants Bournemo’s star Antoine Semegno
Bournemouth forward Antoine Semeño is now targeted by manager Eddie Howe as he aims to bolster his team’s offense.
A report from Spanish outlet Fichejje said Magpies are considering an offer of 80 million euros to secure Ghana International this summer.
Semeño, who joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023, has become one of the club’s key players under manager Andniiraola.
With the UEFA Champions League football promises and the chance to compete for trophies, the prospect of travelling to St. James Park is expected to be attractive to Ghanaians.
Semenyo has already proven that he can perform on big stages. Just this past week he scored twice against Liverpool in a 4-2 loss at Anfield. That display only reinforces the notion that he is ready to take the next step in his career and compete at the highest level.
Semeño’s long-term future in Bournemouth is uncertain
But for Bournemouth, the situation is more complicated. Losing their star attackers represents a major blow, especially considering how he was centered around Ilaola’s tactical approach. However, the fees in the 80 million euro area are extremely difficult for Cherry to refuse.
Apart from the Magpie, Tottenham is also interested in the action of the 25-year-old attacker.
As things stand, Semeño’s future remains uncertain, but interest from Newcastle is growing and serious.
