Antoine Semenyo has become a key player for Bournemouth this season, playing a crucial role in their impressive Premier League campaign under manager Andoni Iraola. The Cherries are just one point off the top four after 25 matches, with only one defeat in their last 15 games.
Semenyo’s impact has been undeniable, scoring seven goals and providing four assists—already surpassing last season’s tally. His rise to prominence comes after the departure of top scorer Dominic Solanke to Tottenham, which gave him a bigger role in the team’s attack.
The Ghanaian winger has stepped up by taking more risks, attempting a team-high 92 shots compared to just 70 last season. His improved shooting accuracy and increased confidence have made him a nightmare for defenders. His ambidextrous nature allows him to score with both feet, making him unpredictable in front of goal.
Semenyo has also refined his overall game, increasing his passing accuracy to 71.5% and boosting his expected assists (xA) from 2.3 to 3.2. With 13 matches left in the season, he is on track to hit double digits in goals for the first time in his career. If he continues this form, he could establish himself as one of the top African players in the league.
