Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo has been named as AFC Bournemouth’s Player of the Month for August, marking a stellar start to the Premier League season. The Black Stars forward impressed fans and pundits by scoring twice and providing an assist across three matches, earning him the coveted award presented by Michael Matthews Jewellers.

Semenyo’s impact was felt immediately as he opened the campaign with a stunning brace in a thrilling 6-4 encounter against Liverpool. He continued his fine form by assisting the only goal in Bournemouth’s narrow 1-0 win over Wolves, and played a crucial role in the victory at Tottenham Hotspur.

His performances clearly captured the hearts of the club’s supporters, who voted overwhelmingly to recognize his contributions, replicating his success from the first month of last season.

The Ghanaian star’s exploits did not go unnoticed beyond the club, as he earned nominations for both the Premier League Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards during August.

Maintaining his rich vein of form, Semenyo continued to shine in September, scoring and assisting after the international break to secure a win against Brighton under manager Antoni Iraola. At just 25 years old, Semenyo recently committed his future to Bournemouth by signing a contract extension at Vitality Park.

Despite this, he remains on the radar of several top clubs across England and Europe, highlighting his rising profile in football circles. His performances are attracting increasing attention as he builds momentum in his career.

Looking ahead, AFC Bournemouth will host Newcastle United at Vitality Park Sunday, September 21, 2025 in a highly anticipated Premier League fixture.
