Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo expressed his satisfaction in remaining with the team amid transfer speculation. The Ghanaian winger, who joined the club from Bristol City in 2023, remained committed despite interest from other clubs following his former teammates’ major moves in the recent transfer window.
Thriving in Bournemouth
Semenyo acknowledged that he is aware of rumors surrounding his future but remains focused on his current performance. With six goals already this season, Semenyo has made a significant impact in the Premier League, ranking second only to Erling Haaland.
“I try to stay present,” he stated in an interview. He emphasized the importance of his contributions to the team and the joy he derives from playing. “If I’m not scoring goals, all of that goes away. I try to do the best for the team,” he added.
Goals and Aspirations
Last season, Semenyo scored 11 league goals, and he aims to surpass that this year. “I set a challenge for myself, saying I wanted to push myself,” he shared. He is determined to achieve double figures in both goals and assists, with a personal target of 15 goals.
- Semenyo’s current league goals: 6
- Previous season’s league goals: 11
- Season goal target: 15
Work Ethic and Personal Development
In preparation for the season, Semenyo committed to improving his finishing skills. He worked with an individual coach during the offseason, focusing on challenging shots from tight angles. “I like to think I’m a good finisher,” he remarked, hopeful of creating more scoring opportunities this year.
Unique Skill Set
Known for his versatility, Semenyo mentioned his proficiency with both feet. “I’m right-footed, but using both is natural for me,” he explained, recalling how he developed this skill from a young age. He noted that being able to use both feet makes it tough for defenders to predict his next move.
Bournemouth’s Premier League Journey
As of now, Bournemouth sits second in the Premier League, just four points behind Arsenal. Although only nine matches have been played so far, Semenyo and his teammates are focused on maintaining their performance. “Anything is possible, but we take it game by game,” he concluded.
Bournemouth will face Manchester City soon, and fans will eagerly watch to see if Semenyo can continue his impressive form. The match highlights Bournemouth’s upward trajectory as they aspire for European football this season.
