Crystal Palace could be set to complete five-year transfer mission for Bristol City striker

Crystal Palace are considering joining Bournemouth in the race to sign Antoine Semenyo this month, according to reports.

The Eagles have a longstanding interest in the Bristol City striker which dates back to 2017 when they offered him an academy contract while he was at the SGS College but he instead opted for the Robins. Sporting director Dougie Freedman has also monitored the Ghanaian's progress for at least the last two years.

Bristol Live understands they were preparing to make an offer in the summer but opted against it due to Semenyo's shin injury. Bournemouth came forward with two bids last week with the second topping £10million which fell short of City's valuation, believed to be in the ballpark of £15m. Championship leaders Burnley also had a proposal rejected earlier in the month.
