Rather than Mbeumo, Tottenham are said to have “stepped up” their interest in Semenyo, according to Sky Sports News. The two-footed forward enjoyed a career-best campaign with the Cherries last term, amassing 11 goals and five assists while Bournemouth set a club-record points tally.

Richarlison's injury-disrupted campaign has been a real bone of contention, according to sources, particularly in the aftermath of the 4-0 Carabao Cup defeat by Liverpool in February when, having only recently returned from hamstring and groin problems, the Brazil international injured a calf.
