Palace and So'ton join race for Semenyo
Crystal Palace and Southampton have joined Bournemouth and Burnley with interest in Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo.Bournemouth, who had a £10m bid rejected last week, are still understood to remain the favourites.
But Palace are keen and, although he is predominantly a centre-forward, he can play anywhere across the front-line.
Two of Palace’s current forwards, Wilfried Zaha and Jordan Ayew, are both out of contract in the summer.
Southampton have also been looking for a striker but missed out on targets the likes of Danny Ings, who joined West Ham, and Arnaut Danjuma, who is set to sign for Tottenham.
Burnley preferably want to sign Semenyo in the summer if the current Championship leaders are promoted back to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old is a Ghana international who has scored 20 goals and set up 22 more in 124 appearances for Bristol City. He has 18 months left on his contract at Ashton Gate.
