According to The Pitch Prospect, Antoine Semenyo is confident about his future amid interest from five Premier League clubs.
The Bournemouth striker is waiting to see which teams activate his £65m release clause in January.

This fee will drop by £5m in the summer and will only be active at the start of the window to give the Cherries time to sign a replacement.
Semenyo signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the club until 2030 in the summer.
However, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are already showing interest in him.
The 25-year-old ended his seven-game goal drought with a goal on Monday evening against the Red Devils.
His appearance was his seventh in the Premier League this season, with Semenyo contributing three assists in his 15 appearances.
As interest in the Ghana international grows, here’s the latest on the transfer aspirations of his five potential suitors.
Manchester City
City’s interest in Semenyo was driven by coach Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard is keen to add a winger to his squad who can score goals from the winger position.
Guardiola believes this is a trait missing from current options Savinho, Oscar Bobb and Jeremy Doku.
The trio have scored a total of four goals in all competitions this season, with Bobb yet to score in 14 appearances.

Manchester United
United launched an offer for Semenyo back in the summer and are once again showing active interest in a move.
The Red Devils would prefer to make their offer public during the summer transfer window ahead of next season.
However, they could be forced into a move in January if their rivals activate Semenyo’s release clause.
Ruben Amorim’s attacking options have also been exhausted by Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Liverpool
Liverpool’s pursuit of Semenyo is not directly linked to Mohamed Salah’s future.
Clubs in Saudi Arabia have shown interest in the Egyptian in recent weeks after he recently spoke out about his treatment by the club.

However, the Reds were already looking for a new winger in 2026 after failing to replace Luis Diaz following his move to Bayern Munich.
As well as signing a new left winger, Liverpool would also sign a right winger if Salah were to leave Anfield.
Tottenham Hotspur
Despite signing Mohammed Kudus in the summer, Spurs want to sign at least two more strikers.
The former West Ham winger has played predominantly on the right side under Thomas Frank this season.
Spurs are looking to add a new left winger to their ranks and are also likely to target a striker at some point next year.
Semenyo is unbeaten in his last three games against the north London club but is yet to score or assist in five matches in his career.

arsenal
Unlike the other four clubs who showed interest in Semenyo, Arsenal would only consider a move if a player is sold next month.
Instead, the Gunners are expecting a quiet January transfer window.
However, Mikel Arteta’s side want to have a new left winger in their starting XI ahead of next season.
They would only bring forward those plans to January if either Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard left the Emirates Stadium midway through the season.
