Arsenal and Newcastle United are reportedly eyeing a potential transfer for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo, following his standout performances early in the Premier League season.

The 24-year-old Ghanaian international has attracted attention by scoring three goals in seven league appearances, putting him on the radar of the two top-flight clubs seeking to bolster their attacking options.

According to Fichajes, both Arsenal and Newcastle are preparing bids of around €40 million for Semenyo, though Bournemouth may hold out for a higher fee due to his contract, which runs until 2029, and his rising potential.

Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, are keen to add depth to their squad as they compete on multiple fronts, including the UEFA Champions League.

Semenyo's versatility and attacking prowess would provide crucial support to first-team wingers Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, giving them more opportunities to rest throughout the season.

Newcastle United are similarly interested, as they look to enhance their creative and goal-scoring capabilities.

Adding Semenyo to their ranks could complement the likes of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, further strengthening the Magpies' attacking force.

With both clubs offering exciting prospects for the talented winger, it remains to be seen which direction Semenyo’s career will take in the coming transfer windows.
