Antoine Semenyo aims to match Erling Haaland's goal-scoring feat
29th July 2024
Ghanaian international Antoine Semenyo has expressed his ambition to replicate the goal-scoring feats of Manchester City and Norway striker Erling Haaland.
In a recent interview, Semenyo, who plays for Bournemouth in the Premier League, lauded Haaland's remarkable performances since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
Haaland has been a standout performer in the Premier League, netting 36 goals in his debut season and following up with 27 goals in 31 games last season.
Semenyo, who has garnered attention with his performances in English football, is eager to emulate Haaland's success and establish himself as a top striker.
"That man [Haaland] is tall, strong, fast, and he can finish," Semenyo said. "He’s got everything you need as a striker. The aura he has...if he’s on the pitch and you don’t mark him, he’s gonna score. Everyone’s trying to mark him and even if you mark him, he still scores. I remember watching him...this is the kind of striker I want to be."
Semenyo’s determination to follow Haaland's example underscores his ambition to develop into a world-class forward.
As he continues his career with Bournemouth, the Black Stars attacker is hopeful of making a significant impact and achieving similar accolades to the Norwegian star.
