Ghana’s in-form forward Antoine Semenyo is lighting up the Premier League — and now he’s earning glowing praise from former England star Owen Hargreaves.
The 26-year-old attacker proved decisive once again, netting the match-winner in Manchester City Football Club’s tense 1-0 victory over Leeds United Football Club, a result that keeps the title race pressure firmly on Arsenal Football Club.
But beyond the goal, it was Semenyo’s all-round performance that caught Hargreaves’ attention.
“He’s a fabulous player… I love watching him play.”
The former midfielder did not stop there, highlighting the Ghana international’s rare versatility and athletic dominance.
“He can play on the left, through the middle, on the right — he even played as a split-striker today. He’s so versatile, athletic, and a good finisher. Where you want to be as a footballer is at the top, and he’s come all the way through the ranks. It’s quite an amazing story.”
With 14 goals and four assists in 27 league appearances, Semenyo is not just enjoying a purple patch — he is establishing himself as a crucial weapon in Pep Guardiola’s attacking arsenal.
Power, pace, positional intelligence, and relentless work rate — the Black Stars forward is ticking every box. And if performances like this continue, the conversation around him may soon shift from “in-form” to “indispensable.”
