‘Antoine Semenyo to join Arsenal immediately’ – fans wowed by transfer ‘hint’
Arsenal fans were quick to react to Antoine Semenyo’s latest interview, with his comments fuelling speculation over a potential summer move.
Mikel Arteta’s side are fully focused on their upcoming second-leg clash against PSV in the Champions League, where they hold a dominant 7-1 advantage. But despite their European success, injuries have left Arsenal struggling for attacking options.
With Bukayo Saka sidelined and both Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz ruled out for the season, the Gunners’ lack of firepower has been exposed.
The failure to bring in a forward during the January transfer window is now proving costly, forcing Arteta to deploy Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker while placing significant faith in 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri.
Semenyo, however, has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season, catching the eye of several clubs. His recent interview has only added to the speculation, and Arsenal fans have been quick to share their excitement over the prospect of a potential summer move.
| Season statistics in the Premier League | Antoine Semenyo | Gabriel Martinelli | Bukayo Saka |

Antoine Semenyo fuels transfer speculation after naming the Emirates as his favourite stadium
In an interview with BR Football, Semenyo revealed that Arsenal have the toughest defence he has faced this season while also naming the Emirates Stadium as his favourite ground.
When pressed on why he chose Arsenal’s home as his top pick, the Bournemouth forward teased: “I’m not gonna go into that… you’re not going to hear anything from me, my mouth is zipped.”
His comments have only added to transfer speculation, as he has been linked with a move away this summer. However, if the Gunners intend to make a move, they will face competition, as both Newcastle and Chelsea have also been linked with Semenyo.
Arsenal fans urge club to ‘bring Antoine Semenyo home’ after comments
The 25-year-old has been a standout performer for Bournemouth this season, scoring nine goals and providing five assists, playing a key role in their push for European football.
Several Bournemouth players have attracted interest from top clubs, with Liverpool keeping tabs on Milos Kerkez, and Semenyo could soon join that list. His direct, powerful playing style offers something Arsenal currently lack beyond Saka.
With Gabriel Martinelli being criticised this season, some Arsenal fans believe Semenyo could be an ideal addition—whether as competition or a potential replacement.
Following his comments, supporters flooded social media urging the club to sign him, with one fan writing, “Bring him home” while another added, “These are the types of players you want playing for you.”
