are off to a great start to the 2025/26 season as Thomas Frank has guided them to four wins from their first seven Premier League games.

Therefore, Frank is planning another big transfer to improve Tottenham's attack and as per reports they have identified Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo as their primary target.
However, they will have to smash the club transfer record to land the Ghanaian forward at north London as Bournemouth are reportedly not listening to any offers below £75m ($100m).
Recently, Tottenham confirmed that a majority shareholder, the Lewis family Trust has injected a total capital of £100m ($133.5m) to help the club and as per GiveMeSport's reports that money could be used to fund a transfer for Semenyo.
Why are Tottenham chasing Antoine Semenyo?
Semenyo has easily been the best player in the Premier League this season having scored six goals and provided three assists in the first seven league games.
To put things into perspective, the Ghanaian scored 11 goals last season in 37 league appearances last season. He has already reached six in the first seven games in this term.

The 25-year-old is an excellent ball progressor couple with his ability to use both feet and overall ball-striking prowess make him an extremely threatening player in the final third.
Semenyo is also extremely versatile though he prefers to play on the left flank, he can also slot in as a centre-forward or even play in number 10 role right behind the striker.
His explosiveness and versatility would be ideal for Tottenham as he slots right into the left flank in Frank's system and they will also benefit from his Ghanaian connection with Kudus, featuring on the right flank.
However, it won't be that easy for Spurs as plenty of clubs are interested in the 25-year-old which may ramp up the transfer fee much higher than just £75m.
It will be interesting to see how Spurs use the recent financial boost as they may also opt not to pursue Semenyo and rather fund a move for their former striker Harry Kane from Bayern Munich next summer.
