Liverpool have shown interest in Antoine Semenyo as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. Semenyo has been impressive lately, especially after scoring the first goal for Bournemouth in their recent victory against Manchester City. Liverpool's sporting director, Richard Hughes, who had earlier signed Semenyo for Bournemouth, is contemplating his transfer to Liverpool because of his improving form. It has also been reported that Newcastle is currently the frontrunner in the pursuit of Semenyo.

Liverpool have scouted Antoine Semenyo as part of their contingency planning in case Mohamed Salah does not sign a contract extension. Semenyo is known to Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes, who was responsible for signing him for Bournemouth from the Championship.
