“Underrated player? Semenyo at Bournemouth. He’s shown levels. He’s a top, top player.”

Arsenal are not the only side linked with Semenyo. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have also shown inerest in the 25-year-old Ghana international. Semenyo has nine goals and five assists in 32 games across competitions this term.

He has helped the Cherries push for a European spot this term as they currently sit in ninth posiiton in the league.
