Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has praised Antoine Semenyo for his rapid progress in the Premier League following the forward’s outstanding performance in the Cherries’ 3-1 victory over Fulham.
The Ghanaian striker, who scored twice in Friday night’s clash, was once again the difference-maker, cementing his place as one of Bournemouth’s most influential players this season.
“He is a player with confidence, he is growing every season,” Iraola said after the match. “He has earned his way to the Premier League and is improving and improving. He is adding things to his game. I hope he can get even better.”
The Spanish coach stressed that Semenyo’s value goes beyond just goals and assists, praising his contribution to the team’s overall play. “I’m trying to make him not on the numbers, he won’t be better just because he scores one more goal. He helps the team more.”
The victory pushed Bournemouth up the table, while Semenyo’s form has given both his club and country renewed optimism. For Iraola, the striker’s steady rise is proof that hard work and persistence are paying off.
