Now, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the West London club have pull out of the race and will no longer pursue a move.
Semenyo will still have plenty of options going into the January transfer window, however, with Man United, Man City, and Liverpool all interested.
The Bournemouth winger will be available for £60 million plus another £5 million in add ons during the first ten days of the window due to a release clause.
