Ghana’s Antoine Semenyo has earned rave reviews in England, with former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor boldly declaring that the Bournemouth star is now operating at a level high enough to start for any of the Premier League’s giants.
Semenyo has kicked off the new campaign in stunning fashion, producing six goals and three assists in eight games.
Agbonlahor, speaking on talkSPORT, couldn’t hide his admiration for the 25-year-old’s form and urged England’s biggest clubs to take notice.
“I look at the league table, and name me a team he doesn’t start for on that left-hand side. Name one,” he said.
“He’s better than [Man City’s Jeremy] Doku. He starts for Arsenal if [Eberechi] Eze plays in that number 10 position. [He’s] better than [Gabriel] Martinelli and [Leandro] Trossard. Better than [Cody] Gakpo [at Liverpool]. Starts for Spurs,” he added.
Semenyo, who penned a five-year extension with Bournemouth in July, is tied to the club until 2030, with his new contract reportedly carrying a £75 million release clause.
The Ghanaian’s electric pace and growing confidence have made him one of the hottest names in English football.
