Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for August, following a stellar start to the 2025/26 season with AFC Bournemouth. The forward’s impressive performances have garnered attention from football fans and pundits alike, as he played a crucial role in the Cherries’ opening fixtures.
During August, Semenyo made three appearances, scoring two goals and providing an assist. He notably scored a brace against Premier League champions Liverpool at Anfield in the season opener, despite Bournemouth’s 4-2 defeat. Semenyo then set up a vital goal in Bournemouth’s narrow victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, highlighting his importance to the team.
Semenyo faces stiff competition for the award from top Premier League players, including:
- Manchester City’s Erling Haaland
- Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike and Dominik Szoboszlai
- Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi
- Chelsea’s Joao Pedro
- Everton’s Jack Grealish
- Arsenal’s Ricardo Calafiori
Currently, Semenyo is with the Ghana national team, preparing for crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Mali. The Black Stars will face Chad at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Deby Itno in N’Djamena on September 4, before hosting Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8. Semenyo’s form with Bournemouth is expected to boost Ghana’s attacking options in these pivotal games.
