Ghana star Antoine Semenyo nominated for Premier League Player of the Season award

Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has been shortlisted for the 2025/26 Premier League Player of the Season award, following an exceptional campaign that has solidified his position as one of the top performers in English football.

The dynamic attacker has had a phenomenal season, consistently delivering outstanding performances for both AFC Bournemouth and Manchester City. Throughout 35 Premier League appearances, Semenyo has scored 16 goals and provided four assists, underscoring his significance to both clubs during the campaign.

The 25-year-old commenced the season in outstanding form at Bournemouth, where his pace, strength, and direct attacking style rendered him one of the league's most feared forwards. His ability to create chances, score crucial goals, and influence matches consistently garnered widespread attention, ultimately earning him a high-profile January transfer to reigning champions Manchester City.

Since joining the Etihad Stadium, Semenyo has seamlessly adapted to Pep Guardiola's tactical system and swiftly become an integral part of the squad.

Despite joining midway through the season, the Ghanaian wasted little time making his impact, delivering several match-winning displays during City's title charge.

A notable highlight of his impressive stint occurred in February when he scored three goals and registered one assist in just five league appearances. His exceptional performances earned him his first-ever EA SPORTS Premier League Player of the Month award, further cementing his growing reputation.

Semenyo's adaptability has been a major strength throughout the season. Capable of playing on either wing, through the middle as a striker, or even in deeper midfield roles, the Black Stars forward has consistently delivered whenever called upon. His tireless work ethic, physicality, and tactical acumen have made him a valuable resource in Guardiola's squad.

The Player of the Season nomination represents another significant achievement for Semenyo, whose rise continues to inspire many young Ghanaian footballers. With his confidence growing and his influence expanding at the highest level, the forward appears poised for even greater success in the years ahead.
