Semenyo has started this season in sensational form, contributing a total of nine goals and assists in his first seven Premier League games.
Barcelona are admirers of Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi, says Sky Switzerland. Adeyemi, 23, could emerge as a concrete target next summer, as he will be entering the final year of his current deal, and Barca are keeping tabs on his development in the Bundesliga.

Liverpool could be looking to sign a left-footed winger who operates from the right-hand side as a long-term replacement for club legend Mohamed Salah, if and when he leaves the club. Olise scored 25 goals and provided 29 assists in 64 appearances in all competitions last season, and we feel that he has the potential to win the Ballon d'Or in the future.
