Rhino: Agencies – Tottenham are set to enter a major race with Liverpool over an important summer deal in the Premier League, according to an English media report on Monday.

Liverpool is considering signing Ghanaian Antoine Semenyo, the Bournemouth winger, if he does not reach an agreement with his Egyptian star Mohamed Salah about renewal.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Tottenham intends to sign Simeone, even if they fail to qualify for the European Championships

However, the report indicated that Liverpool has an advantage due to its strong season and its proximity to the Premier League title, so it may become a more attractive option for the player looking for a chance to play in a team that competes for championships.

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has recommended signing Simeone if Salah were to leave, given his goalscoring ability and skill on the flanks.

Tottenham are looking to complete the deal quickly and reach an agreement with the player and his club, before Liverpool have time to finalize the deal.
