Antoine Semenyo to extend Bournemouth stay with new five-year contract
Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo is set to extend his stay at Bournemouth after agreeing to a new five-year contract, according to The Athletic.Semenyo, who became a key player under head coach Andoni Iraola last season, made 36 appearances and scored eight goals across various competitions.The 24-year-old initially joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in January 2023 on a four-and-a-half-year deal.His integration into Iraola’s preferred 4-3-3 system, often operating from the right wing, has been instrumental to the team’s strategy.Semenyo’s commitment to Bournemouth follows midfielder Lewis Cook’s recent contract extension until 2028, highlighting the club’s efforts to solidify their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.The team is gearing up for fixtures against Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, and Everton in August as they aim for a strong start to the season.Semenyo began his career at Bristol City, making his professional debut during the 2017-18 season. His journey included loan spells at Bath City, Newport County, and Sunderland before returning to Bristol City and subsequently moving to Bournemouth.
