Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly shifting their transfer strategy after cooling their interest in Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo. Faced with stiff competition from other Premier League clubs, the North London side is now said to be focusing on RB Leipzig’s highly rated 19-year-old forward, Yan Diomande, who is valued at around £80 million.
Diomande is viewed as a potential upgrade on Mohammed Kudus and could quickly challenge the Ghana international for a leading role on Tottenham’s flanks. Ghanaian sports journalist Dr. Frank Owusu Ansah has urged Kudus to raise his output this season, particularly in terms of goals and assists.
Spurs Abandon Semenyo Pursuit, Eye Diomande
Tottenham’s interest in Antoine Semenyo has been widely reported, with the club monitoring the Bournemouth attacker since last season. However, increased competition from rival Premier League sides—alongside reports linking Semenyo with a possible move to Manchester City—appears to have forced Spurs to reassess their approach.
As a result, Tottenham are now believed to be intensifying their pursuit of Yan Diomande, who has enjoyed an impressive campaign with RB Leipzig. The teenager has registered seven goals and four assists in 16 Bundesliga appearances, showcasing a blend of pace, composure, and clinical finishing. His form has attracted interest from several top European clubs, underlining his status as one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting young talents.
Diomande is expected to make an immediate impact should he arrive in North London, with the potential to establish himself as Tottenham’s primary wide attacker ahead of Mohammed Kudus.
Kudus Urged to Boost End Product
Mohammed Kudus, who joined Tottenham from West Ham United for £55 million, has made a solid start to the season, recording three goals and six assists. Nevertheless, Dr. Frank Owusu Ansah believes there is more to come from the Ghanaian midfielder.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, he said:
“Mohammed Kudus has shown clear quality this season, but his potential goes far beyond that. He needs to improve his goal contributions, create more chances, and consistently influence matches if he is to become a key figure for Spurs.”
Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has also praised Kudus, highlighting his composure in possession and his ability to unlock defenses as crucial assets for Tottenham’s ambitions.
Outlook
With a potential move for Yan Diomande, Tottenham Hotspur appear determined to significantly bolster their attacking options. The addition of the RB Leipzig youngster could add a new dimension to Spurs’ wing play, complement Kudus’ skill set, and provide valuable depth as the club targets success in both domestic and European competitions.
