Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has showered praise on Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo, describing the 26-year-old as one of the best players he has ever worked with following an emotional night at the Vitality Stadium.
With reports suggesting an imminent move to Manchester City, many believe the match marked Semenyo’s last appearance for Bournemouth.
Semenyo has been Bournemouth’s standout performer this season and one of the most consistent attackers in the Premier League.
“It’s a fairytale ending,” Iraola said. “Football sometimes gives you something back if you’re really committed. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever coached.”
Semenyo leaves Bournemouth with the admiration of his manager, the gratitude of the supporters and memories that will endure long after his departure.
