Arsenal are already preparing their transfer business for next summer, with a huge deal lined up for Antoine Semenyo. According to reports from @AFC2S, the Gunners have officially informed Bournemouth of their decision to trigger a €62 million bid for the winger at the end of the 2025/26 season.
Personal terms not a problem for Semenyo

It’s understood that personal terms between Semenyo and Arsenal are already in place. The Ghanaian international is fully committed to making the switch to North London, and the agreement is set to mirror the structure used in the Martin Zubimendi transfer earlier this year. Much like the Spanish midfielder, Semenyo will remain with his current club for the season before joining Mikel Arteta’s squad next summer.
Arsenal have been on the lookout for another wide forward to complement their attacking options, and Semenyo fits the profile perfectly. At just 25, he has Premier League experience, blistering pace, and the ability to play across the front line. His direct style of play and physicality would add another dimension to an Arsenal attack that already boasts the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Eberechi Eze, and Viktor Gyokeres.
Why Arsenal are moving early to sign Semenyo?
The Gunners’ decision to act now reflects Andrea Berta’s strategy of securing top targets well in advance. With competition from other top clubs expected, Arsenal wanted to guarantee Semenyo’s arrival before the market heated up. Bournemouth, who value the winger highly, will retain him for the current campaign but will receive a sizeable fee next summer.
Semenyo’s arrival will only strengthen Arsenal’s squad depth as they push for domestic and European success. His versatility means he could provide cover for Saka on the right or Martinelli on the left, while also being an option through the middle if required. With Arsenal’s long-term vision clear, Semenyo looks set to become another key addition in their quest for silverware.
