Antoine Semenyo is a Ghanaian player
Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has set his sights on hitting the 15-goal mark in the ongoing Premier League season.
The AFC Bournemouth striker has been in sparkling form, netting six goals and providing three assists in just 10 league appearances.
His performances have been among the bright spots for the Cherries, even as Manchester City’s Erling Haaland tops the scoring chart with 13 goals.
Semenyo, 25, has shown steady improvement over the years- scoring eight goals two seasons ago and 11 last term and believes he can take another leap forward this campaign.
“Every year, I write my goals – what I want to do,” he told Sky Sports.
“I always want to do better than what I’ve done in previous seasons. I set a challenge for myself this year, and I really want to push myself.
“I think I am a good finisher. I can help the team in many ways, and credit to the manager [Andoni Iraola] and all the players – they’ve been so helpful. Fifteen goals would be great,” he added.
The Ghana international has also been nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Month award for October. He faces stiff competition from the likes of Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Moisés Caicedo (Chelsea), Emiliano Buendía (Aston Villa), and his Bournemouth teammate Justin Kluivert.
After their unbeaten run came to an end with a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, Semenyo will be eager to inspire Bournemouth back to winning form when they travel to face Aston Villa on Sunday.
