Post: Liverpool did pay attention to Semenho this summer, and they have other candidates in the future
"Daily Mail" published an article talking about the rumors that Liverpool is paying attention to Bournemouth attacker Semenho.
Liverpool did attach great importance to Semenho earlier this summer. At that time, sources revealed to the "Post" that he was one of the targets that Liverpool might pursue, but since then the rumors have gradually died down and there has been no substantial progress. There was more talk after the first game of the season, when Liverpool still needed reinforcements up front.
Semenho is in excellent form this season and was on Liverpool's radar earlier this summer. The Bournemouth striker was signed by Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes when he was at the Cherries.
In May, the "Post" wrote an article stating that internal sources from Liverpool's senior management said that they hope to introduce a versatile player who can play all positions on the front line. Ekitic might fit the bill, but Semenho might be someone to watch in the future.
Sporting director Richard Hughes witnessed his outstanding performance during his time at Bristol City and subsequently signed him at Bournemouth, and the striker has made great progress this season.
Although it is difficult for Liverpool fans to accept it, Salah's departure will happen sooner or later. Could Semenho be a long-term replacement? He is definitely a player the club has appreciated in the past, but there are other options on the shortlist.
