Chelsea Decides on Transfer for Antoine Semenyo

Antoine Semenyo has been a standout player for AFC Bournemouth this season.

He has been included in many season highlight lists, including one by Jamie Carragher of Sky Sports, and has attracted attention from various clubs after an impressive performance.

Semenyo has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 16 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth this season, continuing his strong form from previous years in English football.

In total, across the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, he has netted 19 goals and made nine assists in 70 league matches.

His recent form has linked him to some of the biggest clubs in England.

This includes reigning Premier League champions Liverpool, who may see him as a future replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur have also shown interest in Semenyo.

Chelsea is another club considering a move for the winger.

They have been active in the transfer market, spending over £1 billion on new players since Todd Boehly took over ownership in 2022.

Despite this spending, Chelsea has not won a Premier League title in that time, only securing a UEFA Conference League and a FIFA Club World Cup.

Semenyo could be a valuable addition to Chelsea as they aim to compete for the title again. However, there is an update on their pursuit of him.

Journalist David Ornstein has reported on X that Chelsea will not be signing Semenyo.

This decision is based on their confidence in the existing squad’s depth and quality.

As a result, it remains to be seen where Semenyo will be playing in February 2026 and beyond.
