Antoine Semenyo is the ‘top winger’ Liverpool DESPERATELY want

Antoine Semenyo is the one for Liverpool. The Reds want a top winger and here's their man.

Liverpool are reportedly pushing to sign a ‘top winger’ in one of the next two transfer windows. That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

They’re ‘still searching’, he says. Well, we think they’ve found their man.

Football Insider claims Liverpool have their eyes on Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo and with good reason. He’s started the campaign magnificently, scoring six and assisting three in his opening seven Premier League games.

That includes a brace against Liverpool on the opening day, of course.

Semenyo would be the perfect option and is surely the ‘top winger’ that the Reds need. He ticks about every box, for one thing, able to play on both flanks and ticking the homegrown box.

The 25-year-old also appears to be on the ascendancy as a player. Eight goals and two assists the season before last grew to 11 and five last season.

Now he’s over half way to beating both figures and it’s October. Semenyo really does seem to be getting better and better - now’s the time to invest in him.

Liverpool's winger need

It's not exactly difficult to see why Liverpool need to sign a new winger. Mo Salah will have one more year on his contract after this one and the Reds lack any successor for him.

In fact, they don't really have any other forwards capable of playing on that side. It feels like the stage is set for a signing like Semenyo, though the rumours of interest in Michael Olise are equally as exciting.

Both players would help with the homegrown quota and both are currently performing at the elite level. Now, both would cost a fortune, too, but that's going to be the case when it comes to finding a Salah successor.

Liverpool's search here is an all-important one but we think they can't go wrong with either player. Semenyo feels a little more attainable, admittedly, and may well be the one the Reds invest in.
