Tottenham pinpoint their ‘ideal’ long-term replacement for Heung-min Son.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning for Heung-min Son’s possible exit this summer and have identified a Premier League forward as the ‘ideal’ replacement.
As Tottenham’s captain approaches the final year of his contract, uncertainty surrounds his future at the club.
Reports in recent months have hinted that Spurs might sell Son Heung-min this summer, especially since the forward has struggled to meet his usual high standards this season.
Several sources have recently suggested that Tottenham have identified a Bournemouth attacker as their primary summer target.
A significant claim has now emerged regarding the club’s interest in this player.
Tottenham Eye Antoine Semenyo as Son’s Replacement
Fichajes is the latest outlet to support reports that Spurs are keen on Antoine Semenyo.
The publication states that the Lilywhites see the Bournemouth winger as a strong candidate to replace Son if the South Korean leaves this summer.
The report highlights that the Ghana international ranks high on Tottenham’s list of attacking reinforcements.
His versatility makes him an ‘ideal’ fit for Ange Postecoglou’s tactical setup.
Moreover, Spurs’ decision-makers believe Semenyo has immense potential for growth in the coming years, viewing him as a smart ‘long-term bet’ for the squad.
Additionally, the outlet notes that Semenyo represents a more ‘economically viable’ option compared to other available attackers in the market.
How Much Would Antoine Semenyo Cost?
Fichajes does not specify how much Tottenham would need to spend to secure the Bournemouth winger.
However, a recent report from Inews provided an update on his valuation.
According to Inews, Spurs would have to pay £70 million to lure Semenyo away from Bournemouth.
If accurate, this would require the North London club to break their transfer record to sign the 25-year-old attacker.
