**Arsenal Eyes Surprise Double Swoop for Bournemouth Duo Semenyo and Kerkez**
Arsenal is reportedly planning a surprise move for Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez as they aim to bolster their squad for the 2024/25 season. After narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City in recent years, Mikel Arteta is determined to make this the year they break through.
Currently sitting third in the league, just a point behind leaders Liverpool and level with City, Arsenal is already preparing for the summer transfer window. According to *Caught Offside*, the Gunners are targeting a €80 million double deal for Semenyo, who could provide backup for Bukayo Saka, and Kerkez, who may replace Oleksandr Zinchenko or Kieran Tierney at left-back.
Semenyo has made an impact this season with three goals and one assist in seven appearances, earning praise from Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola for his leadership in crucial moments. While Bournemouth has set a high valuation, Arsenal hopes to negotiate a lower price for both players to keep their competitive edge in future seasons.
