According to TEAMtalk, West Ham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Bristol City forward Antoine Semenyo.

TEAMtalk add that Southampton, Sheffield United, Brighton, Watford and Norwich are also taking an interest in the 21-year-old.

The report also claims that Manchester United and Chelsea have previously eyed the London-born attacker.

While West Ham and Newcastle have ‘checked regularly’ on the Robins forward, it is Crystal Palace who sound the most keen.

TEAMtalk say that the Eagles view Semenyo as their next Yannick Bolasie, and think he would be absolutely perfect for their squad.

Palace signed Bolasie from Bristol City for just £350,000 in 2012, before selling him to Everton for £25 million in 2016.

TEAMtalk add that Semenyo has already been compared to the DR Congo international in the past.

In 43 appearances this season, the Bristol City No.18 has scored five goals while also recording seven assists.

With so many Premier League clubs watching Semenyo, it seems like it’s only a matter of time until he’s playing top-flight football, in our view.

It could just take one bid to ignite a transfer scrap for his signature this summer, with so many clubs keen.

TEAMtalk write that Bristol City wanted £2 million for him in 2019.

However, given his progress since then, we’d presume that figure has now skyrocketed – keep an eye on this transfer saga.
