Africa-Press – Eritrea. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has heaped praise on forward Antoine Semenyo, highlighting the Ghanaian’s remarkable growth over the past few seasons and backing him to take on an even bigger role at the club in the upcoming campaign.
“Antoine is someone who has progressed a lot — not just last year, but over the past two years that I’ve been here with him,” Iraola said in a recent interview. “He started in the lower divisions, got to the Premier League, improved every season, played more, had better stats, and became more important for the team.”
Semenyo, who initially joined the Cherries from Bristol City, has steadily developed into one of Bournemouth’s most reliable attacking outlets. His explosive pace, tireless pressing, and growing confidence in front of goal made him a constant threat last season, earning him both plaudits and a regular starting place.
“I hope he can continue this progression and even help us with his experience,” Iraola added. “I hope he can offer us some leadership. If he keeps playing the way he did last season, not just with his numbers, but with the work he does for the team and he’ll remain a key player for us.”
With the new Premier League season just around the corner, Iraola’s trust in Semenyo signals the forward’s growing influence at Vitality Stadium. The 24-year-old will be expected to not only deliver goals and assists but also lead by example in a squad that is looking to push further up the table.
For Bournemouth, having a player like Semenyo firing on all cylinders — both on and off the pitch could prove crucial in turning promise into tangible success.
