Former Crystal Palace chairman and football pundit Simon Jordan has heaped praise on Antoine Semenyo, describing the Ghanaian forward as a “top-quality player” following his explosive start to the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Semenyo, 25, has been in scintillating form for AFC Bournemouth, registering six goals and three assists in just 11 appearances, making him one of the league’s early standout performers.
“Antoine Semenyo is a top-quality player,” Jordan said on talkSPORT. “I have spoken to a lot of people, and I think he is a good player, and I really love him.”
Semenyo’s performances have reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal, with all three clubs monitoring his progress ahead of the January transfer window.
The Ghana international’s blend of pace, power, and directness has made him a nightmare for defenders and a key figure in Bournemouth’s attacking setup under manager Andoni Iraola.
Semenyo is expected to feature this weekend when Bournemouth host West Ham United at the Vitality Stadium, as speculation around his future continues to intensify.
