Semenyo nominated for Premier League of the Month award
His nomination comes on the back of a sensational opening-day display at Anfield, where he scored twice against defending champions Liverpool.
Although Bournemouth eventually fell 4–2, Semenyo’s fearless performance left a lasting impression on supporters and pundits.
The Ghanaian forward carried that momentum into subsequent games.
Against Wolves, he set up the decisive strike in a gritty 1–0 win, showing his creative side.
A week later, he proved a handful once again as the Cherries edged Tottenham Hotspur by the same scoreline.
According to Transfermarkt, his early-season tally of two goals and one assist puts him just behind Chelsea’s Joao Pedro in total goal contributions.
For many back home, the nomination is more than personal recognition.
It is a proud moment for Ghanaian fans who have watched Semenyo steadily grow into one of the league’s most exciting attacking options.
The road to the award, however, will not be easy, as noted by Ghanasoccernet.
Semenyo faces competition from Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Liverpool duo Hugo Ekitike and Dominik Szoboszlai, Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, Chelsea’s Joao Pedro, Everton’s Jack Grealish, and Arsenal’s Ricardo Calafiori.
Regardless of the outcome, Semenyo’s bright start has placed him firmly in the conversation among the Premier League’s emerging stars.
Semenyo to feature in Black Stars’ qualifiers against Chad
His next challenge will be to sustain this form across the campaign and continue troubling defences at the very highest level.
For now, his focus has shifted to national duty. He is currently with the Black Stars preparing for World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali.
Having scored in the 5-0 demolition of Chad in the reverse fixture, Semenyo will be confident of doing the same when the two sides meet at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Deby Itno on September 4.
Watch Semenyo’s goal against Chad:
Ghana sits in a strong position at the top of Group I, and back-to-back victories would move the four-time African champions within touching distance of a ticket to the 2026 tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
