Ghana Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo has moved into second place on the all-time list of Ghanaian players with the most goal contributions in the English Premier League following his assist in Manchester City’s 1-0 victory over Coventry during the weekend.
The 26-year-old attacker registered an important assist in the narrow win, taking his total Premier League goal contributions to 50.
Semenyo now trails fellow Ghanaian football star Jordan Ayew, who currently leads the ranking with 60 goal contributions in the English top flight.
Semenyo Reaches 50 Premier League Goal Contributions
Despite being nine years younger than Ayew, Semenyo has reached the 50-goal-contribution milestone in significantly fewer Premier League appearances.
Jordan Ayew has required almost 100 more Premier League appearances than Semenyo to record his tally of 60 goal contributions, highlighting the Bournemouth and Manchester City forward’s impressive efficiency in the competition.
The milestone further underlines Semenyo’s growing influence among Ghanaian players in the Premier League.
Semenyo Impresses Despite Slow Start in Front of Goal
Semenyo is yet to score his first Premier League goal of the season, but his attacking involvement has remained strong.
The Ghana international has already provided two assists in three appearances, demonstrating his importance to his team’s attacking play at the start of the campaign.
With the Premier League season still in its early stages, Semenyo will be hoping to add goals to his impressive assist record and close the gap on Jordan Ayew in the all-time ranking of Ghanaian Premier League goal contributions.
