His pace, power, and relentless drive in front of goal made him an irresistible choice for supporters.
Semenyo wins top prize in England
According to Bournemouth Echo, Semenyo saw off competition from the likes of Erling Haaland, Nick Pope, Ryan Gravenberch, Omar Alderete, and Martin Zubimendi to secure the honour.
The win is a reflection of his growing reputation as one of the league’s most dynamic forwards, capable of turning games on their head.
This latest recognition comes just weeks after he was voted Bournemouth’s Player of the Month for August, underscoring his consistency across back-to-back months.
Analysing Semenyo’s form in September
September proved to be a standout month for both Semenyo and Bournemouth.
The Cherries went unbeaten during the period, with the 25-year-old playing a starring role in their attacking resurgence.
He opened the month with a sparkling display against Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring once and setting up another in a 2-1 victory.
That was followed by a tireless showing in a goalless draw against Newcastle United, where he once again proved vital in Bournemouth’s build-up play.
His moment of magic came at Elland Road, where he struck home a stunning free-kick to help Bournemouth earn a 2-2 draw with Leeds United, further cementing his status as the team’s creative heartbeat.

By the end of September, Semenyo had registered six goals and three assists, per Transfermarkt, directly contributing to nine of Bournemouth’s 11 goals in all competitions — a remarkable tally that underlines his importance to Andoni Iraola’s system.
Semenyo helps Ghana qualify for World Cup
Beyond his club heroics, Semenyo has also been in fine form for Ghana.
He played a key part in the Black Stars’ successful qualification campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Although his individual contribution — a goal in Ghana’s 5-0 triumph over Chad — may not have dominated headlines, his work rate and creativity proved invaluable to the team’s overall success.
Ghana finished top of Group I with 25 points, sealing their fifth appearance on football’s grandest stage, per the BBC.

With international duty completed, the Bournemouth forward will now return to club action.
