Bournemouth and Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo's 2024 has been a year of growth, development, and success, and the 24-year-old has taken a moment to reflect on it all.
Semenyo's first season with the Cherries saw him score just one goal in 11 appearances during the 2022/23 Premier League season. However, the 2023/24 season provided him with more opportunities, as he scored 8 goals in 33 appearances and made two assists.
This transformation has continued into the 2024/25 season, with the forward already scoring 5 goals in 18 Premier League appearances. Semenyo has expressed his satisfaction with his development.
During a press conference on Friday, January 3, 2025, ahead of Bournemouth's game against Everton on Saturday, January 4, 2025, the former Bristol City forward recounted the progress he made over the past year and his aspirations for continued improvement.
"I think the past year has gone really well. Over 2024, I've been able to develop a lot as a man, in football, and in my enjoyment of the game. In the early parts of last year, I was just hoping to be in the team and get minutes. I was able to contribute in ways I wasn't sure I could, and then, over the summer, I looked at my game and developed further," he said.
Semenyo's impressive performances have attracted interest from giants like Arsenal and Liverpool, and it's likely the Cherries could soon lose him to one of the top clubs.
An incredible season by Bournemouth sees them sitting 7th in the Premier League standings with 30 points from 19 games.
