Antoine Semenyo has been having the time of his life since the start of the 2024-25 football season under former Athletic Bilbao captain-turned coach, Andoni Iraola.
The Basque coach has certainly influenced the Ghanaian international style of play with the typical flair of the Spanish game at the South Coast.
The Cherries must be licking their fingers after gambling on bringing the Black Stars forward to the club from Bristol City in the Championship.
Semenyo has improved on his goal tally record (9) in the 2023-24 season (8) by smashing home the first goal for Bournemouth against Everton in Merseyside, in new fashion.
His penalty should be trademarked to that of Antonin Panenka’s winning penalty against West Germany at the 1976 UEFA Euros in Belgrade.
Jebbison took advantage of a defensive error by Everton to seal Bournemouth’s passage to the next round of the English FA Cup.
Modeling his game on two of the greatest strikers (Didier Drogba and Thierry Henry) ever in modern football, Semenyo is becoming a hot commodity in the transfer market, setting up a big money move to the league’s elite sides.
