Antoine Semenyo scored a stunning late winner in what is set to be his final Bournemouth game to beat Tottenham 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium. Struggling Spurs made the perfect start on the South Coast when Xavi Simons' backheel flick found Mathys Tel out wide, before the Frenchman drove inside a fired what had looked like a weak shot into the bottom corner, raising question marks about goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

Andoni Iraola expects Bournemouth's Premier League fixture against Tottenham on Wednesday to be Antoine Semenyo's final game for the club. Semenyo reportedly has a £65m release clause in his current contract that can be activated by interested parties during the first two weeks of the January transfer window. Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool were also linked with a move for the in-form winger, but the Ghana international has reportedly chosen City as his next destination.

Semenyo has had a fine start to the 2025-26 season for the Cherries, with his eight goals a total only bettered by Igor Thiago (11) and Erling Haaland (19) in the Premier League. The 25-year-old has since been touted for a move away from the Vitality Stadium in January, with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool also reportedly interested in him. He has a £65m release clause that can be triggered next month, though it has been rumoured that both Manchester United and Chelsea have opted out of a potential transfer.

The transfer saga surrounding Bournemouth sensation Antoine Semenyo appears to be reaching its conclusion, with the Ghanaian winger reportedly preferring a move to Manchester City over other suitors. While Tottenham were also interested in Semenyo as a primary target to bolster their attack, losing out to City might inadvertently trigger a domino effect that lands Spurs a different dream target: Brazilian winger Savinho.
