Spurs ready to bid for Premier League winger

Tottenham Hotspur look set to add to their attack again when the summer transfer window opens in June, and seem to be keeping an eye on the player already as they are aware of some tough competition from plenty of other clubs.
Spurs need a bit of a re-build in a lot of areas if they want to be a more consistent outfit for next season, with it being the middle of March, the Lilywhites sit in a very disappointing 13th position in the table, as well as being out of both domestic cups and have every chance of being knocked out of the Europa League, with them being a goal down going into the second leg of their tie with AZ Alkmaar.
The likes of Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore are probably still a bit too young to be the main starter week in week out, captain Heung-Min Son isn't getting any younger, but can still produce moments of brilliance in parts, so he will probably have to take up more of a squad role, and the likes of Timo Werner, (who will be going back to RB Leipzig anyway), Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil (on loan at Leeds United and Girona respectively) are straight up not good enough for a club of Tottenham Hotspur's stature.
One player that could sort out a lot of these problems is Bournemouth and Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo. The 25-year-old played near enough the whole game in Sunday's 2-2 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and has seven goals as well as a further four assists in the Premier League this season for the Cherries who are having an exceptional campaign. This is something that could be a negative for Spurs, as Andoni Iraola's side have a huge chance to qualify for Europe next season for the first time in the club's history, something that Semenyo would want to be a part of.
Semenyo is a very versatile attacker that is just as good on both flanks, which is actually quite rare to see in this day and age, he's a quick, powerful ball carrier with a good strike on either foot, something that a part from Son, Spurs lack a little bit. The Ghanaian international would also be a big help to Tottenham's injury crisis, he has played and started all but one of Bournemouth's games in the league this season, the one he missed due to receiving too many yellow cards. That is also considering that Bournemouth are one of the best pressing teams in European football right now, proving he could handle the intensity of an Ange Postecoglou side.
Something else that could make this difficult for Spurs is the fact that Semenyo is a lifelong Arsenal fan, and said that the Emirates Stadium is his favourite away ground to play at. Although it doesn't have as much of a meaning these days whether you grew up supporting the club or not, every player is different and it could be something to consider for the London born winger.
Semenyo's current market value according to transfermarkt is 28 million euros, but as you can imagine the Cherries would want a lot more than that if they are going to let go of one of their key assets this summer.
Overall I think he would be a really good buy for Spurs, they need a refresh with their options in attack and a player like Semenyo who has all the attributes to fit in with the way Spurs want to play. He is always available and reliable, has the eye for goal, and will always work hard on and off the ball, which the Tottenham Hotspur faithful would appreciate it, but of course a lot of it depends on whether Levy will cough up the money or not!
