Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
October 2025

Watford icon Troy Deeney hailed Antoine Semenyo’s start under Andoni Iraola, arguing the Bournemouth forward could reach Real Madrid level if he sustains form. Six goals and three assists in nine league games have powered Bournemouth to second, despite heavy summer sales, underscoring his pace, finishing and value in transition. To validate that ceiling, Semenyo must maintain output against top sides, sharpen off-ball timing, and diversify finishing with weaker-foot strikes. Bournemouth should protect him with rotation and tailored recovery.
