Antoine Semenyo has started the process of deciding his future as Chelsea became the latest club to register an interest in the Bournemouth forward. Those clubs are understood to be Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and now Chelsea. The two Manchester clubs are believed to have had the most concrete conversations thus far. Chelsea's move for Semenyo provides an intriguing late twist in the race to land the attacker, who has a £65m release clause that is only active for the first 10 days of January. They previously showed interest in Semenyo as a 19-year-old in January 2019, when he was on loan at Newport County from Bristol City.
