Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has been shortlisted for the 2025/26 Premier League Player of the Season award following a remarkable campaign that has seen him emerge as one of the league’s standout performers.

The 25-year-old is among a star-studded list of nominees that includes Erling Haaland, Bruno Fernandes, Declan Rice, David Raya, Gabriel Magalhães, Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Thiago.

Semenyo has enjoyed the best season of his Premier League career, registering 20 goal contributions, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists. His tally also makes him the third-highest scorer in the league this season.
