Antoine Semenyo, a Ghanaian international, has been nominated for the 2025–26 Premier League Player of the Season award after an incredible season that made him one of the best players in English football.
The dynamic attacker has had a tremendous season, giving both Manchester City and AFC Bournemouth reliable performances.
Semenyo’s 16 goals and four assists in 35 Premier League games highlight his significance to both teams this season.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a spectacular start to the season at Bournemouth, where his strength, speed, and direct attacking style made him one of the league’s most dangerous forwards.
His ability to create opportunities, score important goals, and have an impact on games regularly garnered him a lot of attention, which ultimately led to a blockbuster January transfer to the defending champions, Manchester City.
Semenyo has immediately established himself as a key member of the team and has adapted to Pep Guardiola’s tactical style since moving to the Etihad Stadium.
The Ghanaian didn’t take long to establish himself despite entering midway through the season; throughout City’s title challenge, he produced multiple game-winning performances.
In just five league games in February, he scored three goals and provided one assist, which was one of the highlights of his outstanding run.
His rising reputation was further cemented when he won his first-ever EA SPORTS Premier League Player of the Month award for his exceptional performances.
Throughout the season, Semenyo’s adaptability has been a significant advantage. The Black Stars attacker has continuously performed well when called upon. He is at ease on either wing, through the middle as a striker, or even in deeper midfield duties.
His physical prowess, unwavering work ethic, and tactical acumen have made him an invaluable asset to Guardiola’s team.
Another significant accomplishment for Semenyo, whose ascent continues to motivate many young Ghanaian football players, is the nomination for Player of the Season.
The forward looks set for even more success in the years to come as his self-assurance grows and his influence grows at the top level.
