Tottenham make Antoine Semenyo enquiry to Bournemouth
Tottenham Hotspur have made an enquiry to Bournemouth about forward Antoine Semenyo but are not proceeding with a move for the Ghanaian forward at present. Semenyo is thought to be attracted by the prospect of a move to north London but Bournemouth's steep asking price has deterred further interest from Spurs in the short term, as well as his other suitors, including Manchester United. Advertisement Bournemouth are thought to value the 25-year-old winger at £65million. Semenyo has become an integral part of Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side, scoring 21 goals across the last two seasons including 13 in 42 appearances in all competitions in 2024-25. New Spurs head coach Thomas Frank wants to add to his attacking options this summer, despite the club completing the signing of forward Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on a permanent basis, following a five-month loan spell. Tel joined the north London club in a deal worth €35m (£29.9m), plus €10m (£8.5m) in potential bonuses. As reported by The Athletic on June 17, Spurs hope to persuade Bryan Mbeumo to follow Frank from Brentford but his preference is to join Manchester United, who submitted an opening offer of £45million plus a further £10m for the 25-year-old in add-ons earlier this month. Semenyo joined Bournemouth from Championship side Bristol City in January 2023 and agreed a new five-year deal at the south coast club in July 2024. He made 125 first-team appearances prior to joining Bournemouth, and also had spells out on loan at Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland earlier in his career.

While Dodgers wait to speak, Jaime Jarrín, Kiké Hernández and others support immigrants
Amid the Dodgers' silence about federal immigration raids in Southern California, a familiar voice that has comforted immigrants for years emerged. Jaime Jarrín, the former Spanish-language voice of the Dodgers who captivated thousands of fans for decades and served as Fernando Valenzuela's translator during Fernandomania, posted a message on his Instagram account about the raids and protests in a city he adopted as his own in 1958. 'As an immigrant who came to this country 70 years ago, I know firsthand the hope, courage and determination it takes to build a new life in a new land,' Jarrín posted Tuesday. 'I have always believed that immigration is not just part of the American story; it is the American story.' 'Los Angeles is my home,' Jarrín added in his Instagram post. 'This city is my family. And it breaks my heart to see the growing division in our community and across the country. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and humanity.' The message from the Baseball Hall of Fame inductee and Dodgers ambassador was celebrated while critics grew more vocal opposing the team's silence following ICE raids and protests in the Los Angeles area the past two weeks. A Dodgers spokesman said the team would announce plans to aid immigrants on Thursday, but it delayed the announcement after turning away federal agents who tried to use the team parking lot after conducting raids at the Hollywood Home Depot and surrounding areas. Jarrín is originally from Quito, Ecuador, and his first job in this country was in a factory in East Los Angeles. Over time, Jarrín became the sports director for KWKW and a Dodgers broadcaster for more than six decades. Jarrín worked alongside Valenzuela when he was a rookie in Major League Baseball in 1981, serving as his translator during Fernandomania in the 1980s. They later shared microphones in the radio booth broadcasting Dodger games in Spanish. 'In the face of the injustices and suffering we have witnessed, I am deeply proud of the thousands who have peacefully taken to the streets; raising their voices, refusing to be silenced. Their courage matters. Your presence matters. Do not be afraid. Stand strong. Stay present. Let your voice be heard,' added Jarrín. President Donald Trump's massive deportation orders have affected the professional sports atmosphere in Los Angeles. The games typically draw Latinos and immigrants from a wide range of countries. Tournaments such as the Gold Cup and the Club World Cup lost fans as some stayed away from stadiums because they feared potential raids or preferred to show solidarity with the demonstrations. Of Los Angeles' 12 professional sports teams, as of Friday morning, only two have issued public statements about the raids. Angel City FC and LAFC have shown their support for the community since the protests began, while the Dodgers and Galaxy, with a heavily Latino and immigrant fan bases, have remained silent. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has responded to some questions from reporters, but he has limited his remarks to saying he understood that the community is 'heartbroken' and said the situation was somewhat 'unsettling for everyone.' Fan favorite Kiké Hernández took to his social networks to say he was 'sad and enraged' at how immigrants were treated, noting the city of Los Angeles had opened its arms to him. The Puerto Rican player, who helped the Dodgers win the World Series last season, wrote: 'Maybe I wasn't born and raised here, but this city adopted me as if I was one of them. I am too sad and infuriated with everything that is going on in the country and in our city. Los Angeles and Dodger fans have opened their arms to me, supported me and shown me a lot of kindness and most of all a lot of LOVE! This is my second home,' posted Hernandez, who was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is in his second stint with the Dodgers after playing in L.A. from 2015-20 and returning from 2023 to the present. 'I cannot tolerate watching our community continue to be violated, attacked, abused and separated. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and their human rights. I stand with you!!! #CiudadDeImigrantes,' the Dodger wrote on Sunday, using a hashtag referring to L.A. as a city of immigrants in Spanish. Meanwhile, Maria Valenzuela, the daughter of legendary pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, spoke out against the ICE raids. 'I am a proud daughter of immigrant parents. They came to this country with dreams bigger than borders. My mother followed her heart, and my father not only pitched for the Dodgers, but for all immigrants who believed they belonged in this country,' Maria Valenzuela posted on Instagram. 'He helped shape a city and inspired generations of Mexicans to dream big. Behind the fame was the same immigrant story: sacrifice, struggle and endless work for a better future.'
