Bournemouth have identified Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson as a potential replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who is primed to join Manchester City in a deal worth £65m.

City are accelerating talks with Semenyo’s camp and are at the front of the queue to trigger the Ghana winger’s release clause, inserted last summer when Semenyo extended his contract at Bournemouth.
